Windows 7 Theme For 8.1 Reuploaded by myself https://www.mediafire.com/file/h3fprbtuv5xgubh/windows_aero_8_1_1_by_simplexdesignsart_ddbc0dh.zip/file Unbranded versions of Shiny and Clear Non Ribbon-UI Version Uploaded by me again https://www.mediafire.com/file/tv5k69va9xt89t7/AeroNoSimplexBrandingFor8.1.7z/file

Mintel

gotta wait till they reupload the shit again

someone tried preserving the vista and ugly classic

07:41

BUT THE MESSED UP THE VISTA ONE

07:41

so it's only classic and classic

imagine using a classic msstyle when you can force the real classic

07:46

especially working well on 8.0 with ex7forw8 obivously

it would be cool if it would be possible to bring 8.1 preview start menu backgrounds to 8.0 or even 8.1

08:51

some of them look good

or windows 10 1507 start menu to the latest build

08:52

but thats not for this topic tho (edited)

nah, 1507/1511 action center placement to newer builds

that aswell

08:53

in 1607 i just use control panel tho

08:53

when i have windows 10 installed

i mean probably the start menu backgrounds on 8.x is possible maybe

08:54

probably the start menu on 10 not so much (edited)

unless you make a replica program that is

08:56

which wouldnt be easy with all those live tiles

SimplexDesigns Vista theme for Windows 8.1: https://mega.nz/file/t4F1ECzQ#sQv-3fL-074xcjMZVhRRQuejCZs360jtN4gR3ZCBMak (edited)

64.98 MB file on MEGA

trigrzolt made windows 8.1 look like 7

19:03

tho the words on the title bar are still on the center

the theme he used is what i reuploaded

19:38

cuz simplex is a bitch

19:38

and pulled it

if i recall correctly they were pulled because of a DMCA from microsoft

20:32

but that could be the wrong version of events

MS did go after some Vista skins for XP, I know that much. Meanwhile, kernel extension projects are a-OK.

i mean his themes are gone

21:21

every theme

21:21

even his devianart is gone

21:21

and discord too

Ouch.

neoncloud

if i recall correctly they were pulled because of a DMCA from microsoft

:/ they dont care about windows 7 so why dmca

23:21

plus its just a theme for another operating system they made

23:24

damn vmware

Image attachment

23:24

automaticallyt calling it 8.x

23:24

and not just 8

23:24

lol

:/ they dont care about windows 7 so why dmca

not caring doesn't mean you can't protect your copyright (edited)

f

Yes.

i want to try to bring the confidential watermark message in an another language

15:57

so i can use it on my main for some reason

downloading 8331 for the shell32

Image attachment

need to update windows 8.1

Image attachment

when italian microsoft confidential watermark

Image attachment

22:00

welp it works

22:00

i can use it

IIt's a beta after all, well nothing that stands out much apart from it not having any wallpapers.

look at compile date

thats build 9600

but then again, update 1 betas are a thing

05:21

and all of those are obviously 9600

05:21

compile date is 210331-1613

hol up

05:37

Windows 8.1 LTSB???

Hm.

Thats just the branch

05:44

For the more recent update, like maybe 2018, even earlier?

https://www.deviantart.com/matthewtaehyung83197/art/Windows-7-theme-for-Windows-8-8-1-855430933

Windows 7 theme for Windows 8/8.1 by MatthewTaehyung83197 on Devian...

12:47

7 theme for 8.1 with better show desktop button size

12:48

and 8.0 support?

i'll try 8.0 support later

12:56

even simplex's theme had a semi working 8.0 support

12:56

the only thing which was broken was the start menu

This + Simplex one = best 7 theme?

if you can somehow make simplex shit work on an another theme maybe

Or rather backport the taskbar from this one to simplex's

13:02

But then again, simplex has done some bs thats hard to replicate

ye

someone should make an updater for metro apps for 8.0 and probably 8.1 too

14:14

(or an alternative store)

#deleted-channel

i can't update shit on 8.1

oh wow the confidential watermark works on metro too

Image attachment

noice

Image attachment

19:36

got it working on my main

what is up with ms confidentional,why do u want the watermark?

because yes

i'm still confused ms called 8.1 when it's different from 8.0

Mintel

https://www.deviantart.com/matthewtaehyung83197/art/Windows-7-theme-for-Windows-8-8-1-855430933

it's alright..

Image attachment

a simple mod could well, restore the 7 show desktop button

ImSwordQueen

the only thing which was broken was the start menu

Taskbar jump lists were buggy looking

ok somehow control panel is broken

Image attachment

uhm

Image attachment

What.

the theme kills 8.0

Oh.

the theme is just aero7 with the taskbar and start menu

noice

Image attachment

inb4 may update is 20001

it will fucked it up

15:51

it looks cleaner now

Image attachment

Ofc updates will fuck with the trick unless you do it again for the update's shell32

ImSwordQueen

it will fucked it up

Nice grammar

15:53

xD

ye i noticed

this is why i disabled updates over here

Image attachment

are you using it as your main?

yes

oh nice

well its at least still supported and i can reenable wuauserv when i actually need updates

I would go to Win8.1 again, but I don't see the advantages of it over Win7 anymore

and whats interesing, they never changed the branch name

15:55

its still th1 after all this time

oh wait ltsb 2015 doesn't download updates when you disable wu like modern windows 10

Windows 10 has always been in Threshold 0

well cant download updates if wuauserv is disabled anyway

15:56

and i dont have store installed so i could care less

15:57

i mean there isnt even a store install script for ltsb 2015 in the first place

15:57

can only be installed by an upgrade trick by changing some registry values to let you do an upgrade from SAC 1507

i wanted to remove the store on my main 8.1

You kinda can

16:14

remove the shortcut from the Program Data Start Menu folder

16:15

sure it will still be there but not accessible

i mean

16:16

remove remove

16:17

like you can do it on NTLite

perfect. removed the useless

12:48

12:48

it just does not work

12:48

i even tried running regedit as trusted installer using advancedrun (edited)

12:50

but still does not work

One of the pinned messages

i have to replace the files?

read it to understand better

13:04

you dont do direct replacement

ok

13:08

i dont use english version

13:08

so i cant do this

13:09

i wont try this

13:09

i have serbian version of windows and not english

you have to modify the shell32 mui with the confidential watermarket with all the dialogs, string of the serbian version

does anyone have a watermarkless version of aeroglass for 8.0?? (edited)

all the versions i have it breaks

nvm it's my iso being fucky fucky

Unwarranted. (edited)

nvm. it's still broken

ugh

Works about as well as 8.1 normally, very nice.

this is what it happens

Image attachment

when you do what?

17:51

oh aero

opening/closing/maximizing windows

oof

17:52

windows 8.0 was not treated nicely (edited)

there was a version which wasn't fucking that bad

1.3.0?

yep 1.3

I have it, but not sure if it has malware or anything

i can try it

17:52

send it in the longvista discord

ImSwordQueen

does anyone have a watermarkless version of aeroglass for 8.0?? (edited)

did you tried the version with watermark?

also this happens

Image attachment

...

i tried the installer one

17:53

and it kinda does it

8.1 was built quite toughly

17:54

in my opinion

8.0 != 8.1

had most of the languages

ImSwordQueen

8.0 != 8.1

8.1 got improvements

8.1 is worse for me

17:55

a lot of downgrades

ur opinion

17:55

cant change ur mind

sadly M$ killed 8.0 before 7..

Try it king

oof

queen

17:56

whaeva

ye i uninstalled the faulty aeroglass

17:56

let me restart the crap

ImSwordQueen

sadly M$ killed 8.0 before 7..

yes, but at same not really since Embedded and Server

pc=pile of crap

Try the one I sent

Mintel

yes, but at same not really since Embedded and Server

ye i was talking about the consumer side

17:59

wait aero glass ultimate should work on 10 20h1 if i was correct

no

oh it doesn't

last version to work on is 1909

so basically glass 8

So, any viruses?

it installed with no defender warnings

I wanna know if I can keep those

18:01

Oh, nice

i will copy the entire folder and scan it on virustotal

ImSwordQueen

wait aero glass ultimate should work on 10 20h1 if i was correct

bruh

How's glass?

but there is a problem

18:02

idk where it installed

Audi81

How's glass?

idk why glass is still broken. so probably it's the vm

18:03

oh it's glass8

Image attachment

18:04

i will check via virustotal

18:06

Image attachment

So, safe?

Virustotal isn't a total insurance of that but at east 85% is the possibility of it being clean. Pretty big. (edited)

all the files say it's 0/10

18:12

the cpu/ram usage isn't a lot

18:17

i would suggest you to use painter's version

apparently the 8.0 version of aeroglass DOESN'T HAVE THE WATERMARK

Image attachment

19:02

like no watermark at all

19:08

oh.

Image attachment

19:08

that's not good.

19:08

oh no...

Image attachment

i think aeroglass doesn't like vms

19:20

and 8.0

;(

19:27

so sad

on real hardware it would be working

19:29

but on vm nada

not too clean

Image attachment

20:31

yo the embedded store is more stable than 8's

i can't update 8.1 normally

Image attachment

industry pro??

yep

09:42

industry pro RTM is weird

09:42

really weird

09:42

like the store works 100% no problems on industry

09:42

on 8.1 update 3 has problems

maybe I should test it in VM lol

09:43

sounds cursed

i kinda want to try industry's store on 8.0

09:44

talked too soon

Image attachment

doubt they would change server just for different SKU

but they can for 8.1 RTM and 8.1 update 1

I wonder why they keep quiet about the 8.1 store issues

nobody cares

09:48

nobody uses the store

well they give answer for the 8.0 one and literally no one uses that shit

8.0 is actually dead

09:50

unlike 8.1

metro side yeah

09:50

the OS itself not really

09:50

I mean there is way to get updates until 2023

the OS can't die

doesn't seem dead to me

it will be always working

we all know people by dead mean out of support

09:51

no shit it's not gonna bomb itself unless it's beta version

8.1 RTM store is a lot similar to the 8.0 store wtf

probably most changes were internal

i think if you copy this winstore it would work on 8.0 maybe

doubt

09:53

probably has minversion block

09:53

not that I have tried it obviously

you can remove that

09:53

8.1 update 1 and later store doesn't work

09:54

Image attachment

maybe kaan can do it he is mr windows store expert

@Deleted User

I corrupted my 8.1 install on TSPC

Well 8.1 has more chances to corrupt than any other version for some reason

it wasn't 8.1's fault

18:44

it was the hdd fault

oh

18:44

oof

it decided to wipe the partition

Mintel

Well 8.1 has more chances to corrupt than any other version for some reason

Windows 10: looks away

TIL Windows will load shit from a MUI If found in there (edited)

19:20

If it isnt in the MUI, it loads from the DLL (edited)

19:21

meaning you can change branding in 8.x without breaking activation by porting over the bitmaps from the DLL to the MUI

19:22

and run mcbuilder after for Windows to clean the MUI cache

wait

20:11

fr?

HOW

10:12

I THOUGHT THE SERVERS WERE OFF

Windows 8.0 or 8.1?

8.0

Wowie zowie!

10:14

How the heck.

you will update onedrive.

10:14

no other option.

the updates installed normally.

Wow.

10:14

That's a bit unbelievable

when the servers for the store were supposed to be closed

10:14

Image attachment

Maybe it's using the 8.1 servers

10:14

check the apps now

the store is a little broken

10:15

Image attachment

That looks nicer than the 8.1 store

10:15

imo

Image attachment

10:16

yeah it looks fantastic

are you being sarcastic?

i'm not

10:17

i like this design

10:17

Image attachment

Okay, I do too

who was the guy who was able to extract the cool metro apps

BTW, the Weather app is known to break if you updated it

Image attachment

ImSwordQueen

who was the guy who was able to extract the cool metro apps

I don't know

10:18

did someone do that?

@Deleted User how do you extract the metro apps on 8.0

10:19

i got the store running somehow

I can't believe it! I deleted the darn store!

Image attachment

and it got some apps

10:20

Image attachment

Is that the Weather app?

sports

10:21

now bing works again

Sports, Health and Fitness, Money and some other MSN based apps may not load

10:22

The Weather app actually does show a message that the app has been discontinued for 8.1

10:22

at some point I did get that message

if only there is a way to redirect those services to the new ones

10:23

yeah weather isn't loading at all

aka modify the server data in the app to redirect to the new servers

10:23

if that's how it works

probably it would be possible via the hosts file

How?

infinite loading..

Image attachment

Isn't the hosts file for blocking addresses from loading?

no

10:24

you can redirect a certain domain, ip to an another ip

10:24

yeah the weather app is dead

ImSwordQueen

you can redirect a certain domain, ip to an another ip

Didn't know that, thanks for clearing that up

10:25

didn't know you can do it from the hosts file that is.

if you want to block a certain ip you can do [blocked ip] 127.0.0.1

I remember now

the updated bing now works

10:26

the og app doesn't

Image attachment

it's dead now

10:43

Image attachment

you can technically try to get the search feature back

10:57

to download apps on 8.0 again

10:57

because...

Image attachment

uhm

Image attachment

11:06

oh.

Image attachment

11:11

Image attachment

Really?

11:12

No music player apps?

i can't use the already preinstalled one

11:15

because

11:15

Your app needs an update.

11:20

search is broken anyway

Image attachment

ImSwordQueen

@Deleted User how do you extract the metro apps on 8.0

you mean

14:45

making an appx from installed apps?

14:46

btw ping me when u respond

Deleted User

making an appx from installed apps?

Yeah

15:12

I wanted to preserve the last updates of the default apps on 8.0

15:12

Because 2 are lost

15:12

And some apps dont work

15:12

very epic 8.0 store

20:21

when 8.0 store works better than the 8.1 counterpart

Image attachment

Nice.

yo imagine playing windows store games in a vm

That would run like crap(for me at least).

Image attachment

07:53

Okay, now I know why WinDefender is no longer updating

07:53

is it because of the SHA-1 discontinuation thing?

hmm

07:53

it would have stopped updating ages ago

07:53

and windows 8.1 supports SHA-2

but WinDef may not support it

07:53

I can't install MS Security Essentials

07:53

because

Nah the whole OS supports it

07:54

it was released in an update IIRC

Image attachment

yeah thats expected

Image attachment

07:54

I think I couldn't even check for updates

hmm

I did try

07:54

but nothing happened

you may need to update gimme a sec

07:55

I did check for updates

July 2016 update rollup for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2

This article describes the update rollup for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 that's dated July 2016.

07:57

or this

nah thats before they did the SHA-2 update i think

07:57

but try it anyway

Image attachment

yeah i dont think its because of SHA-2

Image attachment

07:58

it says no customer action required for windows 8.1

Image attachment

wait is your copy completely 100% without updates?

08:00

cause mine was and it worked fine when i went to update

08:00

albeit about 5 months ago

Image attachment

08:01

Image attachment

08:02

These are updates that came with my ISO

08:02

most likely

looks like it should be fine then

with this ISO

08:02

it always worked

hmm

I don't know what's up now

must be some weird internet issue

08:02

i assume you have tried a reboot

My internet is perfectly fine

08:02

and I've rebooted a dozen times

no i mean like some weird firewall issue or wacky connection to microsoft servers

I'll see what I can do

08:03

if it's the firewall

just try turning off the firewall and if it doesnt fix it i dont really have any idea why its not working

After an hour, it was still checking for updates

09:20

8.1?

little broken huh

Image attachment

13:08

i can't access the updates anymore..

13:09

so my store is forever broken now

13:09

rip

13:12

@Mintel what are the updates which puts the eol messages on 8.0 if you know them

That is unfortunate.

probably if i transfer the default one it would work again

ImSwordQueen

@Mintel what are the updates which puts the eol messages on 8.0 if you know them

some server 2012 update, can't remember which

i know you didn't put them in the iso because it downloaded them after the update

13:13

it was one in the 85 updates so... fun

13:15

yeah it updated the store to break it. i will try and replace it with the default one from the iso

13:16

oh it actually loaded the updates section

13:16

still can't update camera and photo

Hey guys

20:38

I've completely messed up bcd config on my 8.1 partition and it now says 0xc0000428 (edited)

20:38

Any suggestions?

do you have hiren boot PE and an iso of 8.1?

20:55

@Betajyst4094

20:55

or a working version of windows

trashed XP just yesterday

20:56

I have 8.1

20:56

And

20:56

Hiren.... do I have it

i mean

20:56

idk

20:56

do you?

Yea found it

20:56

15.2

20:57

And the newer one too

20:57

Never ever used them lol

ok can you boot it (edited)

20:58

because you need easyBCD which luckly it's there

20:59

go into easyBCD and select this

Image attachment

Okay, let me flash it first

i hope it would work

20:59

if it doesn't

20:59

then you need a 8.1 iso

To do a bootrec /fixmbr?

i mean it's easy to fix it by doing that tbh

MBR is intact

if you don't have a working version of windows installed

It's BCD that's messed up

oh it's mbr

Okay done flashing (edited)

Done

Install it with the rp theme

windows was trying to install 8.1 while installing a language pack wtf

Nothing new in Windows.

12:15

I am suprised it is not Windows 10.

because they removed the option to update your pc to windows 10 without your consent

12:16

they didn't for 8.1 apparently

wait what

12:19

somehow didnt know WU could force a 8.1 upgrade

microsoft made 2 updates for it

12:20

these 2

Image attachment

i'm not able to download language packs ughh

Amazing, well not that you will need one anyhow.

if i'm downloading a language pack is because i need it bruh

I know, i meant that you are already proficient at english so no need for Italian in the mix.

i need the italian language pack because a program doesn't work without it (edited)

if i knew where it was i was going to add the user account pictures

just pretend its like windows 8.1 beta 0.0000001 lol

why 8.1?

Win8.1 beta is just like 8.0

working as intended /s

Image attachment

holy fuck

18:59

8.0 is so dependent on shortcuts for the metro apps

18:59

it's asburd

8.0 is very fascinating

i'm surprised on how many leftovers does 8 have

Image attachment

19:04

i think 8.0 was never actually finished

19:05

and they were going to fix it later with patches

19:05

like modern games

19:06

8.0 lets you do more stuff that 8.1 doesn't let you

19:12

8.0 was experimental

19:12

8.1 fixed the flaws which 8.0 had

https://streamable.com/nwq3gg

Q is windows 8 app store still making apps to this day?

Nope, it has stopped adding them a long while ago. (edited)

Image attachment

20:57

oof

nope. there are no updates for existing apps too

21:08

so almost all online apps (also xbox live dependant apps) are dead

21:08

probably some xbox live games let you play them offlien

21:08

but if you use the internet they don't work

21:09

i forgot that ms released the offline ISO language packs

21:09

21:09

5 hours trying to download the nothing

21:09

when there was a file ready..

Oh? that's surprising, at least windows 8's scheme didn't drag it down like the rest.

8 and 8.1 stores are somewhat connected

21:11

because 8's store can see 8.1's apps

21:11

but can't download them

21:13

FINALLY AFTER PAIN AND SUFFERING

Image attachment

Nice, hopefully someone who has been saving up all those store apps will pop up to the public and construct a database but the reputation of the store makes this very unlikely to happen.

update hell

Image attachment

still stuck..

Sounds like the 8 people know of.

stuck at here

12:43

^ it failed

it's doing something

Image attachment

13:15

almost an hour later

That's not normal.

probably it is for the amount of installed updates

13:20

and unofficial updates as well

13:20

i kept the windows default one doing too on my laptop

13:20

to see if it does happen to be slow

13:21

it can happen with updates too

The unoffical updates might be the cause but can't tell until you see.

it was successful

13:32

restarting the vm rn to see if it actually downloaded it

it worked

it still supports win7

21:52

last time i checked

It does on 7

22:26

no, it's not supported in official means

I upgraded 8.1 to 8.0 lol

23:01

Yes.

23:01

How did you do it?

well I ran 8.1 setup.exe with /noreboot then it did the upgrade before restarting I replaced the wim with the 8.0 one and waited

23:18

then after 9000 years it got to the oobe then I did some random things that idk if matter

23:18

I enabled admin acc and did skip oobe thing then finished the oobe and it worked

23:18

on my VM attempt without doing these two the oobe looped twice and then went on reverting windows

23:18

dunno if they mattered or anything was a bit random

23:19

then I got to the cursed start screen and on the desktop everything was there except for my taskbar pinned stuff

23:19

and yeah everything works metro apps are the 8.1 ones and won't work but ig whatever

Vista RTM was never great

yes

and the extended kernel is a minor miracle. :D

i found a news report showing someone editing a newscast on a vista laptop in early 2008

what's wrong with that wasn't vista the current msos at the time

22:05

It was

22:05

but it was hated to death

22:05

eh, probably

22:05

know several duds who used vista at the time normally

usually production stuff like video editing wouldn't be on the very bleeding edge of oses, as a lot of video editing tools were broken by vista like ulead mediastudio pro 8 (2005)

Windows Me was also hated to death

i'll stream it in vc

https://www.howtogeek.com/301768/how-to-take-ownership-of-files-and-folders-in-windows/

If you’ve ever been denied access to a file or folder in Windows, chances are you need to take ownership of them with your user account. Here’s how.

followed the instructions and the error still occurs

You need to enable the last option too

i can't click on the last option

Dont you have the take ownership context menu?

yes

Okay, so before Windows 8 got released, the Windows website had a hybrid design between Metro and Aero

It depends when

11:07

probably dev/ consumer got released

The snapshot is from September 2012

wait

13:03

so 8.0 already came out

it was released, on OEM shit

13:08

GA was still in October

wait

13:08

i thought 8.0 came out in September

13:08

tf

2012-10-26 was the GA/release date

disrespectful

Image attachment

13:10

latest release - 9600

seen videos where every release from xp to 10 was compared, yet 8.0 was intentionally avoided

they can't see the 8.0 magic

that or MS saying 8.1 is a sp kind of thing to 8.0 was burned deep into everyone's brains

13:12

to the point 8.0 is sorta forgotten

ah yes. the totally "service pack" update

that combined with what a flop it was

actually

13:14

if microsoft said 8.1 was a service pack

13:14

then update 1 is a service pack of a service pack

ofc the windows 8 name is now generalized as 8.1

it would be cool to bring 8.0 stuff to 8.1..

but then again, 8.1 is actually a new release with a lot of changes so

8.1 shouldn't be considered a service pack

yet MS is trying to cover themselves up from the "failure" that is 8.0

8.0 stuff is broken/ missing

13:16

like the 8.0 store still kinda working but search is intentionally broken

13:17

and almost all the default apps on 8.0 got removed from the store

13:17

so you can't update them

obviously MS trying hard to get people on 8.1 or 10

yep

13:17

still forcing the upgrade

my iso should not force the upgrade considering some server 2012 update would prevent it

it still forces it if you install the missing updates

13:19

source: my laptop almost upgraded to 8.1 with the iso

aka well, the updates i intentionally not included

yep

disabling WU is a quick solution i think

13:19

WU as in the service

even hiding the updates fixes it

ofc, only install server 2012 or embedded 8 standard updates

and if you want to use the default metro apps you can use the msi installers that microsoft provided

13:22

which that page is broken and redirects to itself if you click on any hyperlink

waiting till july to update that iso again

is there a list of the latest updates for 8.0 metro apps?

never kept track of them

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/8487cd84-a894-ff4d-33c9-acbacd9c910b this list is obv outdaded

Windows 8 and 8.1 Microsoft Store app package updates available for...

Outlines the default Windows Store apps release cycle for administrators.

13:24

but idk how old it is

13:24

because i don't know the latest versions of those apps

I think they would had updated them till Jan 2016

13:27

All ik is that a Server 2012 update updates the store to say it's no longer supported

yep

13:27

and you can bypass that with the pinned 8.0 store

13:27

which is basically 8.0 no updates files which somehow works on the latest version of the store

The fact that MS actually pulled a 2016 10-like thing with 8.1 and people were... fine with it

yep

Or it might had been a very small minority that complained, but we don't know (edited)

gosh darn it

unless you wanna fiddle around with system files yes

17:33

I already fiddled with them!

17:35

I could try the "Reset my PC" option

17:35

but I think that won't do me any good

17:35

try an inplace upgrade

17:35

wut?

yes

won't hurt tho, considering you wanna reinstall anyways

i used xp as a kid but vista is 200x better

i love vista on my laptop because it performs better and saved battery life

once I get some laptop, I might install Vista on it

nostalgia is not necessary

bruh you know vista is outdated and obsolete as well right

it looks sick as fuck and does everything i use it for

05:33

browses the web, runs discord (ripcord), sick aero, plays all the games that'd run on that laptop anyways

it's still ancient history same as XP saying nostalgia is dumb is stupid in this context (edited)

ancient history can't run minecraft 1.17

yeah but the difference is it runs basically all programs

"basically all programs" is what vista runs for me

2021 was 0 years ago

there is literally no real point in using vista

vista bad because 2022 was -1 years ago

hurr durr

it's outdated and 7 is the same thing with better UI

vista runs faster and has sexier aero

Just use fucking windows 11 at that point

05:46

You get better performance for less

i diss vista because i want to be a little bitch and win an argument with points as dull as a used pencil

it's literally 2021 dude can't blame them for not bothering to support your 2005 potato

05:46

also you literally use most of the time 8.1 lmaoo

i use 8.1 half the time

05:47

vista the other half

05:47

two separate computers

and you didn't even put vista theme on 8.1

why you have theme then?

it's literally 2021 dude can't blame them for not bothering to support your 2005 potato

using a system that's old but it does everything you need it to do is fine

05:51

there's a difference

05:51

vista literally limits you it doesn't even work right on anything after 3rd gen intel

yeah that's why i use it on a first gen intel core

05:52

it runs everything i need it to

05:52

it doesn't limit me because i don't do anything on it that i otherwise could with 7+

ms dos works for some people as well what's your point it doesn't make XP shit vista good

daniel you're making up a point for me and then arguing it

05:53

i never said xp was shit if it did what you need it to

vista is more stable than 7 on skylake

ok that's literally false

not false cause I have a skylake system

even @win32 can confirm

and I have used both on that system

i would take windows 8.0 over 7 any day tbh

ok since the trend is defending old operating systems i'm just gonna go ahead and say fuck all of your systems server 2012 r2 is the best one

at least 8.0 has the 8.x optimizations

06:09

and features

Vruh 2

ok since the trend is defending old operating systems i'm just gonna go ahead and say fuck all of your systems server 2012 r2 is the best one

06:09

you said that windows 10 is good

06:09

that's sin

Vruh 2

ok since the trend is defending old operating systems i'm just gonna go ahead and say fuck all of your systems server 2012 r2 is the best one

2012r2 is pretty based

06:09

i run it on my workstation

06:10

hosts my music and network storage

can't confirm for skylake as i've never used it. but kaby lake ime is ok on 7, but uptime is never longer than 2 weeks due to driver issues. but i do have some problems on 7 with waterfox freezing that i don't have on vista (same third-party drivers, x58) (edited)

i said that almost any server os is good

06:10

includes 10 based server versions by the way

06:10

cry about it

well honestly windows sucks in general

you're right

06:10

windows sucks fucking balls and has always sucked

i mean classic 10 server is meh

doesn't mean linux is that much better

or mac

mac os server is brilliant from what i've heard

yeah linux wasn't that good for me either never tried mac

mac os server is a fucking app

it was an operating system at one point

it was

and it was brilliant

06:11

too bad

06:11

the only decent options are unix based systems too bad they're fucking useless

06:12

so we're stuck here arguing which shitty os is the better one

vista

06:12

duh

yes

Vruh 2

so we're stuck here arguing which shitty os is the better one

basically

tbh

06:16

developer preview is better than 7 and 8.x

it's a beta system

06:17

alright

ok and?

then main it

ImSwordQueen

developer preview is better than 7 and 8.x

yeah it's pretty based

06:17

i mained it for 2 months a long time ago

06:18

got the vista sidebar on it too

06:18

i have screenshots somewhere but it'd take a week to dig them up

dev preview is nice yeah

06:18

is it mainable?

if you ignore net 4.5 completely

that was it

06:20

.net 4.5 was why i stopped using it

what if you try using the really broken setup?

maybe there can be workaround like 4.8 on 8,0?

Even if you somehow get .net 4.5 on it, discord is gonna complain about missing functions

actually

yes, 8400 is so close to RTM that .net 4.8 works

06:22

so close yet so far

why is consumer so far from 8400 and 8102

But then there's the middle ground aka 8250

06:23

which idek if .net 4.5+ works properly on

which is a freak and 0 themes are compatible with

dev preview exkernel when

wait does themes from milestone 3 even work on dev preview?

when you move to 8.1 put aero glass on patch uxtheme put a theme on it and change the start button

06:24

brilliant

06:24

you have made a functional clone of dev preview with a similar appearance

Vruh 2

when you move to 8.1 put aero glass on patch uxtheme put a theme on it and change the start button

why not use 8.0?

because 8.1 is similar and more recent

Vruh 2

when you move to 8.1 put aero glass on patch uxtheme put a theme on it and change the start button

change start button?

06:26

ok i tried all 8.1's default apps

21:52

movies, music and games

21:52

and only movies logged me in normally

what's with the rest?

21:52

they don't log you in at all?

infinite looping

21:53

i understand xbox music

21:54

because groove is dead

21:54

buy idk why xbox games isn't loading

21:54

yeah gave the error on music

Image attachment

have you tried updating them from the store

No updates

nice, MS being MS and breaking shit

i mean

21:55

xbox music still works in offline mode

21:55

it just can't connect to the online store

21:56

which is understandable

21:56

because groove music died

21:56

https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-shuts-down-groove-music

RIP, Groove ... Microsoft has officially killed its streaming music...

The day has finally come. Microsoft has retired its Groove Music streaming service.

oh

21:56

what about games

idk why games isn't working

21:57

probably they changed server?

21:57

oh.

Image attachment

21:57

it's been discontinued on 8.1 too

21:58

only movies is not dead

oh

21:58

sad

22:01

i like 8.1 (edited)

22:01

i hate what people say that its bad

8.1 was alright

22:01

people hated 8.0 the most

8.1 was alright

?

22:02

was?

22:02

probably he just means is

still is

22:02

i mean was for the time

22:02

when metro actually worked

ok

22:02

never been an 8 series fan tbh

now it's just 7 with some touch screen apps

even though i've used it for 4 years

and with an annoying start screen

not THAT annoying tbh

22:03

i use start screen only

the full screen apps are annoying to use tho

22:03

i'm not a big fan of them

yes

22:03

never use those

also the official mytube app on the ms store is dead

22:04

so rip

i thought thats for windows phone (edited)

nope

Because a lot of Metro stuff died, I switched to Windows 7

it was released on 8.1 too

ok

22:05

as it seemed to me like Windows 8.1 was just a glorified Windows 7

8.1 nowadays is just a better version of 7

22:05

i mean better if you use startisback or open shell

i use 8.1 purely because it looks more modern

i use 8.1 because it's well optimized

ImSwordQueen

8.1 nowadays is just a better version of 7

it'd take a lot more work to get it like vista tho

22:07

so, no

Yesn't

i installed vista before i went to sleep

WHAT THE FUCK IT WORKED BEFORE

but only for fun

THIS IS BULLSHIT

vista is on my seperate partition

this is why you don't update your stuff kids

even if i can i wouldn't main it as my main OS for now

ImSwordQueen

this is 9600 tho

yeah exactly

22:29

the app from 9200 isn't expected to properly work on 9600

9600 can run 9200 apps

22:29

they share the same store too

yes, but the apps are still different

ImSwordQueen

they share the same store too

Really?

22:30

it won't update the app

yeah but the 8.0 one does not

22:30

which is what i've been trying to say

9200 apps on 9600 will update to the latest if they have any

you can't run 9600 apps on 9200 at all

At this point, it does install nothing

i mean

things barely useful to anyone

it doesn't install nothing to begin with

21:10

even if the servers were functional

It installs something that is nothing at this point

nope

21:11

it never installed anything

21:11

and i mean never

I have to admit - I'm quite confused xD

it would display that message

21:12

but it would do nothing basically

So it just sits at that screen for a few minutes displaying lovely colors?

nah it loads only your profile

21:13

it's basically the Preparing your PC message

21:13

but with lovely colors

You mean "Preparing your desktop"

same thing

So that screen is technically misleading...

yep

It just prepares your profile, it doesn't install any apps

exactly

8.x retail keys can be moved from pc to pc without calling ms

any retail key which hasn't been abused to hell will do that

looks like they kept the white layer in

looks like they kept the white layer in

The white is just cause i'm not focused in the window

ah mk

02:51

u should see what they did to 7

02:51

they added a frosted glass effect

02:52

that covered the friggin window controls

02:52

and if u enabled menubar

02:52

its not frosted

Windows 8.1 doesnt have support for aero officially

so the glass thing probably wont ever happen

i had to make a userchrome to fix it

sum1 gimme sexy 8.1 themes

bigflushed

Omnimo 5.0, as MadEvening pointed out is one of them, you can see them in #desktops-setups.

It is technically a Rainmeter skin, but alright

hmm modded store

Image attachment

i want it

i'm trying to remake the 8 consumer preview-ish theme for the store

22:46

i will repack it if it works

22:51

Red spinning circle!

Image attachment

The devilish spinning circle

22:52

you are dead.

what color should i try for the circle

black

Image attachment

22:54

i'm gonna mod the background

22:55

Huh fancy!

Image attachment

22:55

i like this

i can modify terms of service nice

Image attachment

23:06

they surely planned more updates for 8.1

Image attachment

23:06

(or it can be 8.0 leftovers somehow)

ok fixed the context menu missing in the theme

I like that blue/orange look

23:14

understandable

Store - Working fine except 8034

23:53

@ImSwordQueen how to change icon on the start screen?

Copy the shortcut

16:18

there?

16:20

16:20

@ImSwordQueen im almost there

16:22

@ImSwordQueen i need help fixing the tile

16:30

theres only text

Unpin it

16:30

And pin it back

didnt do shit

I wouldve help you but my 2 sata cables broke

16:31

Do you have a consumer preview iso?

Nope

16:32

what for?

For the shortcut

ImSwordQueen

I wouldve help you but my 2 sata cables broke

did you mess with your PC?

16:34

or did it do that itself

If you have an original shortcut of the store it should work like normal

16:35

idk why the icon isnt showing

perhaps its something to do with cache? (edited)

Maybe

cleaning cache didnt do shit

how.

lodocus

how.

took the screenshot before it died

ImSwordQueen

took the screenshot before it died

ngl I was wtfing hard when I saw no DWM metro

it almost worked

13:39

but then the invisible errors popped up

13:39

and it died

I wonder why dwm is so important

13:40

I mean we could display images and text before dwm was invented

probably for graphical effects

13:41

and i don't think the start screen would've worked well without dwm

13:42

almost a perfect replica of the start menu

Image attachment

if it wasn't for store and pc settings I would probably think this is 7

yep

13:45

i can't remove them either

13:45

because then store and pc settings don't work

You can just delete the shortcuts

yes but it would delete them on the start screen as well

13:55

making them not work

ok windows 8 with media center cooked the activation

15:48

fuck media center

8.x be like

even with the original basebrd of 8.1 professional it's still cooked

15:53

Branding isnt signed? Too bad, your activation is void

even with the signed branding cooks itself

15:54

if it isn't from the same sku

Meanwhile vista and 7 let you get away with even modifying explorer and shell32

but even with the same sku it wouldn't work

15:55

i have to unmodify everything to fix activation

15:55

10 gets a point for not breaking in the same fashion

15:57

Shell32 still requires the trick

on 1903 will be different i guess

and explorer doesnt even launch if it knows its modified

because the stuff it's inside mun

But does basebrd have a mun tho

uhhh it doesn't i think

15:59

but shell32 does

but meh, no ms confidential so could care less

16:00

8.1, th1 and th2 gang

microsoft stopped using the watermark so no watermark

16:00

but if we get a build with the test mode ms watermark

If only there was a 8.0 build with the waterm- oh wait 8520

16:01

But thats x86 and cechz

16:02

Guess you could try 8441's shell32

you can mod the file to make into an english shell32

16:02

i did that with 9600's one

16:02

Image attachment

Or you could use 8441 PE's MUI

16:03

The PE is english while the full build is Dutch

i guess you can try doing that

16:04

you can mod the shell32 on 8.0 btw (edited)

16:04

it's only a 8.1 thing

Its a 8.1+ only thing with signature checks hmm

they probably forgot to sign the shell32 of 8.0

16:05

Kek

or rather, it doesnt check its Sig at all

16:05

and 8.1 started doing that

16:06

hence that trick (edited)

it doesn't check at all

Image attachment

16:06

it doesn't have it

having a copy of the build's actual shell32 renamed and redirected to in the registry

16:07

meanwhile trying to modify ntoskrnl is death sentence

basically on every version after vista

16:08

i wonder what file uses the loading animation

16:08

(and not the logo)

tried porting xp bootscreen to 10 1709, shit didnt let me bypass the Sig error screen

16:09

even with test mode, no integrity checks and ci nuking

rip

ImSwordQueen

i wonder what file uses the loading animation

Its a font seemnly

fuck winload is signed

For the 10X one idk

yeah but on 7 it uses winload to make the animation

Yes, but the animation is stored in bootres

oh.

16:11

oh wait yeah it does

on 8 and onwards the animation is a font

and the logo is stored in bootres

16:12

in a dll/wim file (edited)

while the older vista boot animation is stored in ntoskrnl

16:14

for that, the entire bootscreen is stored there

huh winload is signed on 7 too

16:14

i guess it doesn't check for it

16:15

(Windows 7 boot animation on 8.x when) /s

But checks for ntoskrnl sig

16:15

so yeah

16:16

Vista only doesn't do that when the extended kernel is installed and nointegritychecks flag is set to yes

does 7 check it with the nointegritychecks flag?

idk

16:19

try it yourself

eh i can try

ms did say 7 ignores that flag however

16:20

But not really sure

the blue store icon fits so nice

does someone have the media center pack for 8.1 without changing sku?

13:51

oh using spacebars triggers it

it's from the purple forum

Yes, till 2023

So vista got 16 years of support

Holy shit

Not very surprising considering XP's support lenght

Shit was supported for 18 years with PoSReady 2009

almost 20 years

alright

22:19

so if you want to see windows 8.0 on ryzen, be prepared

It's not that, bad.

its still bizzare

But it's certainly not ideal. (edited)

i mean ppl have run 8.1 on ryzen

22:20

but ive yet to see 8.0

22:20

plus i gotta give 8.x one last shot

22:20

after all the lambasting ive previously given it

22:21

hey. if its actually half decent i might try 8.1 and use it as a secondary

22:21

specifically given how easy it is to install on ryzen

i think 8.0 windows update is unaffected by the "unsupported hardware" message

i dont even care about that message lol

you wouldn't care about wu either in this case

hell i may even use 8.0 if its that good with the classic shell and tweaking

you have the default shell of 7 too

01:32

Server 2012 R2 is supported till 2026?

01:32

Oh shit, I guess I got support for another 5 years

Yes, you have all the time to remain there, and if you want another 5 years, hop onto LTSC 2019.

would u be able to get premiere pro 2021, after effects 2021, and media encoder 2021 working on win7?

05:12

those are the 3 adobe products that i actually need fully up to date, the rest i can just use cs6 or something

Michael

would u be able to get premiere pro 2021, after effects 2021, and media encoder 2021 working on win7?

Premiere 2020 got quite close, and Photoshop 2021 was even closer. But if I want to get those working I need to extend the kernel, and I don't really have enough time to learn about how IDA and x64 Assembly works.

MassClaw

Yes, you have all the time to remain there, and if you want another 5 years, hop onto LTSC 2019.

i thought you have 8.0

09:09

ah sorry

Virtual11

Oh shit, I guess I got support for another 5 years

i thought you have 8.0

2012 too iirc

10:45

But I could be wrong

10:45

I’m considering 8.1 for daily use

Deleted User

i thought you have 8.0

I have 8.1

ah

14:16

alright

8.0 is a nope for me

ok

14:16

i didnt knoe

14:17

sorry

All good

arialgirl

I’m considering 8.1 for daily use

If you ignore all metro applications and install open shell, you essentially have Windows 7 but without aero (though you can easily put a skin out for aero)

Ik

Good

I’m using 8.0 as a secondary

Any reason why?

Wanna try it out

15:00

It’s good so far

Whatever works for you

But a weird bug in beamng where the online repo doesn’t work. So I have to get mods from the website.

15:01

So as a main os I’d rather use 8.1 which probably fixed the bug

can server 2012 r2 downgrade to 8.0?

Yep, probably has (edited)

the Door guy

can server 2012 r2 downgrade to 8.0?

Don't think it can

15:02

I mean

Also 8.1 has native nvme support

15:02

With 8.0 I have to use a modded driver which may not be reliable

You would have to downgrade server 2012 R2 to Server 2012 then somehow convert that to normal version

my pc was made for 8.0

15:03

according to the back of the minitower (edited)

My pc was made by myself lol

arialgirl

Also 8.1 has native nvme support

That's another thing

The drivers are for win7 and 10

15:03

7 drivers work on 8

arialgirl

7 drivers work on 8

7 drivers should work for 8.1 as well

Gpu supports from vista+ officially and 2000+ unofficially (edited)

Virtual11

7 drivers should work for 8.1 as well

Ofc lol

arialgirl

Gpu supports from vista+ officially and 2000+ unofficially (edited)

Even way back to 2000?

Yeah unofficially using a modded driver and kernel extension

How stable is it

15:04

If you know

Idk cuz I never used 2000 with it

15:05

Vista is iffy. But that’s likely the driver version

is 8.0 as good as 8.1? (edited)

Win8 works perfect with the gpu

the Door guy

is 8.0 as good as 8.1? (edited)

You’ll be missing some features but it’s mostly just fine

15:06

There’s less weird bugs in 8.1

i sued 7 and it was perfectly fine

That’s all

shit

15:06

used

the Door guy

i sued 7 and it was perfectly fine

plz pin

I kinda don’t want to ditch the 8.0 install cuz @docR put in good work to make it look nice

15:09

Also I’ve heard 8.1 is almost impossible to keep activated permanently

15:10

I could just get a key I guess lol

ApertureSketch

Premiere 2020 got quite close, and Photoshop 2021 was even closer. But if I want to get those working I need to extend the kernel, and I don't really have enough time to learn about how IDA and x64 Assembly works.

rip ok, thank you

arialgirl

I kinda don’t want to ditch the 8.0 install cuz @docR put in good work to make it look nice

why not clone it and move it to a kvm?

arialgirl

Yeah unofficially using a modded driver and kernel extension

yeah i'm on vanilla 372 now myself lol

17:05

but the HAL and Haswell do result in a few driver bugs regardless

17:05

namely d3d11

arialgirl

I kinda don’t want to ditch the 8.0 install cuz @docR put in good work to make it look nice

anx honestly, dw about it. we can easily setup 8.1 to be identical

17:59

but save all that shit

17:59

export your classic shell settings so we dont have to manually do all that again

17:59

I have a key you can have too, but its for Standard edition

18:00

(just lacks group policy editor)

18:03

i'd keep 8, small limitations or not, just for the sake of stability though

18:03

i don't trust 8.1 at all

18:04

i argue its easier to break than this vista install lol

8.0 better than 8.1?

18:06

Since when is that logic okay?

Modding 8.0? it doesn't break like 8.1 does with certain tweaks

18:10

but 8.0 is so limited

How much do you have to mod it to make it just like Win7 with the Metro design...

18:10

Just install OpenShell and there you go

18:11

you could remove all of the Metro apps optionally

on 8.0 you can disable metro completly

Deleted User

Just install OpenShell and there you go

or ex7forw8 if you have anything windows 8 based

Well you still need store and PC settings tho

18:11

Well only PC settings actually

Scamdisk

Well you still need store and PC settings tho

on 8.0 you can only have pc settings and then it's fine

like server 2012 or multipoint server 2012 if you want windows 8 aero, on a server OS (edited)

on 8.1 for some fucking reason

18:12

you need the store too

Like store is still there, but well, you can remove the shortcut

18:12

so yeah

18:12

only PC settings

i mean

18:12

if you completly remove the store

but 8.1, i get it

on 8.0 it would break only the store. that's it

18:13

in the meanwhile on my 8.1 vm fucking explorer crashed for some reason lol

Image attachment

While 8.1 it breaks a lot more, right

yep

18:13

it would break the whole metro section

18:13

for some fucking reason

Thank God they made store not a system app in Windows 10

i wonder why they made the fucking store a system app that all metro apps need on 8.1 tho

aka just not present on server and ltsc

18:14

Also PC settings can be very broken in Server 2012 R2

18:15

Like most of the time, it just crashed on me

also without the store

18:15

windows would die slowly too

18:17

like

18:17

what the fuck ms did to the store to make it so important on 8.1

18:17

holy shit

People say 8.1 is better than 8.0

18:17

But actually it's the reverse

if you don't mod 8.x

18:18

8.1 is better than 8.0

18:18

but if you mod 8.x then it's in reverse

Scamdisk

But actually it's the reverse

I think that

Nah, 8.1 is slightly less let's just say, stable

talking about the devil...

18:19

WHERE IS MY UAC PROMPT (edited)

Image attachment

8.0 without store: yeah this is fine 8.1 without store: commits die

NTlite lets you remove the store no problem

18:20

but if you do that the whole metro section dies

18:21

so i wonder why isn't [i forgot the name] dev doing something for that

18:21

he fucking made that it detects if it's a fucking beta

It's better to just remove the store shortcut

if you want to remove the store without saving space. sure

Which then again, only works wonders on 8.0

if you want to save space then there is no point

Deleted User

Since when is that logic okay?

you're clearly out of the loop lol

ImSwordQueen

if you want to remove the store without saving space. sure

Well i mean it's one way to just "remove" the store without breaking other shit

yeah

docR

you're clearly out of the loop lol

Sorry for that

18:22

but 8.1 is functionally better

like i wanted to do nano 8.1

18:22

but i don't think i would do that

18:22

because it's a pain

8.0 is very dead imo

I need to test 8.1 too

Deleted User

but 8.1 is functionally better

in what way? assuming you rip out the metro shit, they function identically. but 8.1 has native m.2 support it would seem

Specifically how beam behaves with it

i was going to make nano9 with 9834

8.0 with 2012 updates is solid af

but i can't even fucking do that

and wont break over stupid shit

docR

in what way? assuming you rip out the metro shit, they function identically. but 8.1 has native m.2 support it would seem

An updated kernel perhaps?

because NTlite devs are smooth brians

I can't see an advantage over 8.0

Beamng works but for some reason the online repository doesn’t load on 8

Deleted User

An updated kernel perhaps?

kernel? if by higher patch level, yeah. scamdisk made an ISO with 2012 updates through 2020 or so

18:24

and its quite good

Which isn’t a dealbreaker but it’s more convenient

and 8.0 can actually be cracked properly. or hell. just activating legally isn't prone to breakage, unlike 8.1

I don't want to argue with you, just expressing my opinion

The alternative is going to the beamng website and installing the mods yourself lol

8.1's activator almost made me break my laptop screen

You're one of those people that I don't want to argue with

@docR did u try toolkit

yes, and also this was a legal copy

18:25

i say again. it was legit

KMSpico didn't work?

The best thing about 2012 non r2 is winloader is an option

toolkit and kmspico both break after a few days for me, if not a few hours

I have toolkit on 8

arialgirl

The best thing about 2012 non r2 is winloader is an option

yeah. but the other activator for 8.0 is just as good as loader too

Works fine so far

docR

and 8.0 can actually be cracked properly. or hell. just activating legally isn't prone to breakage, unlike 8.1

VL mak keys are somewhat broken on 8.0 too

So suddenly 8.0 is better

Even KMS will result in broken activation when changing something as simple as basebrd.dll

that's not confusing at all!

this is why i don't dig 8.x in general. its just weird

8.0 is better in some ways, 8.1 is better in others

tho you can workaround it with the mui file

8.0 being less fucky than 8.1, while 8.1 in some slight ways being uniquely better is just too much to wrap my head around

like porting over the bitmaps to the mui file then changing them there

this is why i tend to forget 8 lol

8.1 is better

sorry

because of compability

18:27

that's it

And Windows will load the bitmaps from the MUI

well 8.1 is good with RX cards, so theres that

But both are effectively windows 7 level compatible

18:27

With some small exceptions

arialgirl

But both are effectively windows 7 level compatible

8.0 and radium dont go together

Well AMD drivers and 8.0 isn't the greatest thing in the world

and yeah

You know what - 8.x is in general confusing now!

Even then those exceptions include 8.0 in general like VMware

sometimes 8.x will be better for something, other times 7. thats why its just so weird

I'd say "Avoid it"

its a sidegrade

18:27

yes!

i mean kernel_security_check_failure bsod

Deleted User

I'd say "Avoid it"

Nah

but is it a good idea to avoid it

i vote avoid too, sorry anx lol

I don't think so

but he's enjoying it so far

when installing new ass amd driver

Why avoid it?

1

On 8.0

arialgirl

But both are effectively windows 7 level compatible

then there is fucking kingston ssd manager

i personally avoid it because its just weir

that it's compatible with 8.0 but not 7

And that happens only on 8.0

Vista is weirder

1

18:28

What os just randomly breaks over a different cpu

arialgirl

Vista is weirder

press x to doubt

2

Explain that

Vista was a big evolutionary change for Windows

le hal

Even something that also doesn't support newer versions of .net like LTSB 2015 works just fine with AMD drivers

Ok, so it’s weird

18:28

Lol

arialgirl

What os just randomly breaks over a different cpu

haswell breaks 7 too.

18:28

somewhat

ImSwordQueen

haswell breaks 7 too.

There’s a fix

so explain that

docR

press x to doubt

I'm pressing A instead

ImSwordQueen

haswell breaks 7 too.

Nup!

Also

/s

So only 8.0 suffers from non working AMD driver syndrome

Win7 is vista 2.0

okay fine. anything but windows 7 is weird. hows that feelscringeman

feelscringeman

This whole conversation is confusing

Nah win7 is weird too

7 is weird

18:29

There

Windows is weird.

win7 is weird, but its the least weird. lets be real

Got it.

but its okay, i'm weird

nt 6.x is weird in general

Image attachment

anx if you ever have time later. could you see if vista bsod's with another psu, or lower power mode? didn't you theorize it could be a power management thing with that psu?

NT 10.0 is utter crap I think

i'm rather curious to see if it was ryzen, or just a power issue

NT 10 is 6.x under the hood

we kind of need to document this shit

i have to check if the msi weather app of 8.0 would do something

18:32

or just do nothing like the default one

docR

we kind of need to document this shit

Make a whole documentary

and vista still isn't buggint out after 4 days now i think. its just those goddamn display driver shortcomings

I can help in producing it

18:32

XD

But then there's XP where you can fuck with everything and it will still work just fine, as long as you use antiwpa and disable sfp (edited)

i've never seen 6002 behave this stable on haswell tho

18:33

goddamn microsoft

XP you can even change the whole sku

Documentary: Windows NT 6.x - too weird!

and windows wouldn't give a fuck

18:33

except for activation

Well if it's a vl copy it will, but antiwpa am i rite

they fixed it just enough for servers. who tf would be using directx11 with a server. that was probably the logic. that and lock screens feelscringeman

feelscringeman

XP and older don't give a fuck even if you modify the most critical of system files

everything non display (and bobby button) related is perfectly stable

secretly they made 6003 for newer intel servers /s

yep

Why are we talking about general Windows stuff in the 8.x channel?

Just wait till MS quietly drops 7602

flush

its really fucking fast and stable, its just that stupid bugged directx11 and lock screen. latter idc about, but fix d3d11 angris

angris

Image attachment

Because they will eventually waste the delta number shit for 7601 too

BTW, if Windows 10 screws me up

18:35

I'm going back to either 8.1 or 7

18:35

or whatever!

18:36

(I hope it actually gets screwed up for me :P)

Just don't go to vista till Haswell is fully fixed

Not doing that

It's fixed enough for my usage, mostly just hampered with games... which vista isn't exactly cut out for anymore to begin with

And what's funny is that XP doesn't have such weaknesses

18:37

aka no Haswell+ bugs

but to be clear, idk about standard consumer haswell

18:37

it works with haswell-e, which makes sense considering 6003 was technically for server

Scamdisk

And what's funny is that XP doesn't have such weaknesses

it also doesn't have directx11 to begin with

18:37

so you cant break what isn't there lol

18:37

but it boots consistently ig

Well it's limited to dx9 so ofc

so there ya go

Unless you use those opengl warpper things

this isn't unstable tho

18:38

just sucks because directx11 would improve compatibility a bit

ofc, XP will never get a proper extended kernel due to how different it and Vista are

docR

anx if you ever have time later. could you see if vista bsod's with another psu, or lower power mode? didn't you theorize it could be a power management thing with that psu?

I’m switching my psu out today

biggest thing is you must shut off webgl in firefox, and use opengl for vmware

18:39

chrome doesn't care

arialgirl

I’m switching my psu out today

ooh

18:39

what psu is this?

Vista is all about that bad pool header life

18:39

If it doesn’t happen under 8 or 11 then it’s just vista

That moment when Chinese chromium is better than well, palememe

Evga 750w bq fully modular

18:40

Something like that

Because ofc palememe won't handle js clusterfucks

My old one was an evga 500, no bronze rating even

damnit, even tropico 5 is dx11

So yeah not so good for a 980ti

this shit needs to be fixed

@docR or just, use a different os

d3dll would mean less trips to the other os

Also this is the windows 8 channel

Still waiting for 8.0 DX fix for AMD drivers

arialgirl

@docR or just, use a different os

i play like 5 pc games, like 50 between dolphin and ps3 lol. it isn't that big a deal to reboot for em

and ofc using 8.1 DX files obviously won't work so

Scamdisk

Still waiting for 8.0 DX fix for AMD drivers

that would be very, very nice

18:42

because rx cards are nice

Just use 8.1 if you have amd radeon

Well too lazy to swap on to the 9500 gt just for 8.0 and macOS so eh

radium is just too picky tbh. but nvidia hates linux, and amd is ehh with (some) windows oses. so you can't win lol

Then there's the shit aka intel

Intel HD isn't bad

18:43

it's fairly stable if anything

Decent on Linux, bad on Windows

The solution is keeping radeon for Linux and nvidia for windows

18:44

Like I do

18:44

Rx 570 + 980ti

nah i wouldn't say bad on windows, least not 4th gen era anyway. its not as stable as nv drivers, but its not half as bad as radeon either

18:44

I love Intel HD for 4th/3rd gen laptops

Also nvidia on linux depends

18:44

Some gpus are good

18:44

Some are total shit

hd graphics 2000 literally supports opengl 3.3 on Linux but not on Windows

My 950 was good with 'buntu distros

18:45

I think 900 series and Linux get along better than newer ones

I’ve had luck with pascal gpus and Linux

like what the hell is that logic

So just dont gayyymur and use RTX with Linux?

Rtx is fine too

18:45

Lol

it is?

18:45

so what cards suck on it then?

Muta the big arch nerd uses an rtx gpu with his system

18:46

And does a single gpu passthrough

like really old shit with poorly maintained drivers?

Yea

18:46

Pretty much

My 9500 GT is cut from newer Linux kernels because ofc it is (edited)

18:46

Linux quickly kills off support for older propietary shit

so you think i'd be okay with this 970 on a debby distro?

18:46

i was with the 950 back in 2018

It would be fine on debian or arch based distro

arch based

Doubt

Just don’t use something crazy or obscure

Scamdisk

arch based

Doubt

It literally is tho

Scamdisk

arch based

Doubt

is

18:47

arch as much as i hate often gets the better display drivers sooner too

Arch isn’t even really that bad of a base

I meant with older shit tho

Arch Linux can be highly customized

its not bad, its just the wild west

You can install a big variety of DEs

Just don't use Manjaro, that's it

Lol I daily drove arch, it does play ball with nvidia rather well

18:48

Just gotta be mindful of your de

i still maintain the opinion that arch is more of a hobby than it is an os

Honestly Ubuntu is kinda the well, best one due to how much shit supports it compared to other distros

Ubuntu is the best for beginners and consumers

ubuntu forks are where its at

or any flavour of Ubuntu

18:49

kubuntu xubuntu lubuntu

i dont agree with the whole ubuntu is for beginners shit

Ubuntu Unity the best one tho

1

i started with arch and manjaro

docR

i dont agree with the whole ubuntu is for beginners shit

I very much do

chad

and ended with ubuntu/debian based

18:50

because i learned the others are toys

18:50

lol

18:50

started with the nerdiest, from the top. descended to normiebuntu pepe_sad

pepe_sad

18:50

hehehehe

Arch is actually fantastic for kvm

18:51

Mainly because acs patching is literally 2 commands

i used manjaro way back when you had to cli install it

Also it’s lightweight

Ehhh, all i don't like is having the kernel update too often

18:51

Thank God for lts kernel

Scamdisk

Ehhh, all i don't like is having the kernel update too often

thats a dangerous game, yeah

18:51

even linus thinks its stupid

Well that’s fair. That’s why there’s stuff like endeavoros

arialgirl pinned a message to this channel. 20/08/2021 18:52

look i happen to think arch is actually the easiest to use. i just dont like the nature of rolling distros. they're suspectible to breakage

18:53

thats why i turned debbie

Eh, i wonder when someone will be cool enough to fix the 8.0 AMD driver bug

anyway off topic

pay win32 to fix the amd driver sunglassesmush

sunglassesmush

I mean it's the only version with such bugs

Could we go back to Windows 8

Even tho full support for 7 ends in 2024

12:07

cuz ya know, Embedded PosReady 7 ESUs

12:07

or what was it again

Wow, this effect is wacky

pre activated iso? kinda of yikes

Tip for myself: don't use pro mode with the camera app (edited)

why do i feel like that's a Generation2 iso

ImSwordQueen

pre activated iso? kinda of yikes

Not really, it's rather helpful

Scamdisk

why do i feel like that's a Generation2 iso

It is

knew it

12:09

I usually just install the std entry when i use those

Why?

and do my usual third party program less KMS activation

Image attachment

12:10

I see now

or even use a volume mak key

I choose Home with KMS

no need for 3rd party kms clients

The only legit Windows license i have is for well, 10 Pro cuz MS account on Insider

12:11

MS literally gives out free Pro licenses if you sign up for insider

i got almost all legit licenses

12:11

except i use none because activation hell

even if you don't use insider builds

12:11

I also have legit licenses for XP Home and Vista Home Premium i don't use

12:12

Well OEM licenses

UEFI-ready now

Image attachment

btw mad

12:12

why home?

Yes?

Why core

ImSwordQueen

why home?

Everyone's been asking me that

12:12

Not in this server, but still

You could just go pro, or even better, ProWMC with the dism trick

Scamdisk

You could just go pro, or even better, ProWMC with the dism trick

pro with media center?

yes

dam (edited)

prowmc is a upgrade target for both core and pro

12:14

so yeah

Okay, decided to still progress with Home

12:14

I don't use gpedit.msc

But then again, plain old pro is also a upgrade target for core so uhh yeah (edited)

12:15

Yet you can't do live or non syspreped SKU upgrades with dism on client

12:15

They limited that shit to server only

12:16

Want to hear something worse? Right aligned titlebar text

12:17

think that's possible with basic?

12:17

idk

i tried that

12:17

and didn't work with basic

Oof

probably i did something wrong

Might try it on XP later idk

damn an embedded 8.1 industry pro key can't activate 8.1 pro

Image attachment

12:18

bummer (edited)

well that one was kinda obivous

12:18

Embedded Pro != Plain old Pro

actually

12:19

i don't even know if it's industry pro or not

12:19

Image attachment

Well EmbeddedIndustry = Embedded Industry Pro

One lengthy name

there was even an enterprise sku too if i remember correctly

EmbeddedIndustryE is Embedded Industry Enterprise

12:20

There's also that unreleased RT embedded SKU too

12:20

actually there's 2 of them

12:21

as 9600 product.ini mentions EmbeddedIndustryAE

also in the edition ID list

I would have to assume AE is Embedded Industry RT Enterprise

i still have to find a screenshot with 8.1 Professional Student

iirc you could get professionalstudent with coreconnected

12:22

as in it's a upgrade target for that

i wonder

12:23

if microsoft planned to make a release of thinPC based on 8.x

well the thinpc SKU is mentioned in 9200 product.ini

12:24

Ouch!

I'll use this for the syncing stuff

also that iso has your graphics driver already installed

Oh good then

or i think so

12:33

it doesn't look stretched or small

i feel like maining 8.0 alongside 10 (edited)

That's typically how it is

instead of server

When I get into Windows, then I can see the driver's not there

you can't create ms accounts in oobe on 8.x anymore (edited)

but idk who said that

I already have a MS account

12:37

But I'm making a local one instead

12:37

Since my own MS acc is old

oh wow it opens

Old that it has @live.com on the end

12:38

yey.

Alrighty!

Image attachment

12:39

Doesn't come with the Intel HD control panel

12:39

but I can feel it's smooth as butter

probably it's only the integrated driver in the iso

Image attachment

oh

12:40

interesting that it detects the monitor resolution

12:40

but not the driver

is this what u used? @ImSwordQueen

Image attachment

ye

safe?

12:40

i think so

yeah

12:40

it worked

how do i run it

12:43

@ImSwordQueen

replace udwm.dll in system32 with that one

Image attachment

12:46

I don't need a key

did you get core?

12:47

why?

I got Home

12:48

It doesn't say though

core and home is the same

Okay, and?

@ImSwordQueen first i disable dwm, then replace udwm, then enable dwm?

you can rename the udwm file

13:08

and restart

which udwm?

13:08

sorry too stupid

udwm.dll in system32

@ImSwordQueen renaming udwm and restarting disables dwm entirely?

no

13:10

rename udwm

13:10

copy the new udwm

13:10

and restart windows

ohh

13:12

gonna rename it to uDWM1.dll

Image attachment

you have to take ownership still

i know

13:13

and i just did

13:14

successful?

I like that details pane on the bottom

i meant addition not addiction ffs xD

it was different?

This PC is called Computer

also the details pane is missing obv

So far so good with Win8.1

we do a little bit of tom foolery

modding defender was a failure

waht if you could add text to the boot screen

since the circle is just a symbol

probably via Hex editing?

@Deleted User can you install windows live essentials 2007 and send the files?

ok (edited)

why not installing it in a vm?

also now explorer is a little bit unstable

I'll explain in a bit

gpedit.msc on Windows 8.1 Core

Is this the big feature in Pro that everyone's talking about?

It was very easy to get it installed

That's nice

17:30

Cause: Bluetooth driver

Image attachment

17:34

Comparison

Ofc it's still not perfect

17:42

But at least it can be left aligned now

@Scamdisk why is it far away?

Look at the default 8.1 theme, idk, if it's that far away on that too, then idk

that's a 10 thing

Vruh 2

that's a 10 thing

10s is far away too?

Ok seems that far away thing is something aeroglass breaks

no that's just a 10 thing

17:46

hard to explain

17:47

It looks right without aeroglass (edited)

oh wait

17:47

this is windows 8

17:47

sorry i forgot

17:47

i swear i've seen the same thing on 10

With aero? Or just plain vanilla 10

17:48

oh nvm

17:48

seems to also be a aeroglass thing

17:49

Guess bigmuscle recycled the 8.x code without thinking about the left side text

on SimpleX

Image attachment

17:50

how to patch the aero thing? (edited)

You gotta patch the symbols or the other shit aeroglass uses to fix it

do that

The thing is, this left side text thing isn't my patch

17:52

I just found it on some server

the Door guy

on SimpleX

the aeroglow does that

i wish taehyungs theme was as good as simplex

Well the simplex one sucks in the taskbar department

17:53

show desktop button too small

AAH

Image attachment

17:54

we need a modded simplex theme

17:54

to fix this button disaster

But the simplex themes are so ofuscated

so i either A. have to deal with it or B. use taehyungs theme which isnt shiny (edited)

@ImSwordQueen try vistas logonui troll

you can use aeroglassgui

to use another atlas

how to get?

res hack into the theme and you should be able to find it under a STREAM folder or something

18:38

@Vruh 2 is this it?

Btw, what’s the trick to bring the titlebar text to the left again?

yes

18:39

that's the atlas

I don’t need it, but I’d like to know

using an atlas in a custom theme is broken

mmmh

bro tip

did you actaully try this

it could work

18:44

simply suggested

arialgirl

Btw, what’s the trick to bring the titlebar text to the left again?

with aero you need the modded udwm.dll file

19:34

with basic and classic you have to modify the msstyle file

So upon installing win8.1, my beamng.drive repository now properly connects to the internet

17:00

idk how or why

17:00

it doesnt in 8.0

Interesting

ram usage in 8.1 is about the same as win8, very low

17:01

and its incredibly fast, especially since this is nvme

17:02

@docR sorry to inconvenience you, but im sticking with 8.1

anx

?

try the not updated version of 8.0

hmm

not as the main os

17:05

probably it's an update or something that it causes some trouble (edited)

that is a probability

Maybe install ie11

17:06

And enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2

^ also this

hmmm

17:06

lemme do that

17:06

i still have win8

17:06

its on my second ssd

I already patched it so ie11 is installable

17:07

But didn't include it due to known issues with some parts of metro

what issues

idc, i dont use any metro shit

17:11

so idk if this was the right way to do it but i tried just getting ie11 from ms and installed it and it still says its ie10

17:13

@Scamdisk sorry for sounding like a dumbass but how do i go about this

Have you tried restarting?

Oof

ImSwordQueen

try the not updated version of 8.0

but theres still this

doubt that's any different

this is so weird

17:21

like what makes it do that

hell, it might be even worse considering almost all of the chromium shit require the c++ 2015-2022 runtimes to even work properly on 8.0 for some reason

17:22

and idk

17:22

A lot of shit is a little buggy in 8.0 due to devs not bothering

sad

Scamdisk

hell, it might be even worse considering almost all of the chromium shit require the c++ 2015-2022 runtimes to even work properly on 8.0 for some reason

2022?

Well MS seems to have recently released VC++ 2022 runtimes

17:24

Tho still in the same base as 2015, 2017 and 2019 (edited)

17:24

So still works on vista

17:26

MS still doesn't see they are actually still supporting vista in a way

17:26

But then again, that could be cuz Server 2008

Eh they've got nothing to lose for it anyway

I mean they decided to stop blocking 8.0 with .net core which is nice

Shame they didn't stop blocking 6.0 too :tfSad:

17:29

Well its not like it works anyway yet

Also not blocking 8.0 also means not blocking LTSB 2015 which is a bonus

Tfw when old shi is silently supported tfGlad

tfGlad

17:32

Might be heartbreaking for the anti-old OS reddit paranoids

imagine being paranoid

Then again, it's not like you can't force install .net 4.8

17:33

trollol

The word every vista user hates

17:33

SetThreadGroupAffinity

The blocks are just artificial shit from MS

17:34

ofc it works just fine on 8.0 and LTSB 2015, especially 8.0 since centrain SKUs

Well for one thing 4.6.2 and 4.7.x works AS INTENDED on vista

17:34

The block was unjustified

but 4.8 is like: SetThreadGroupAffinity

Soul haunting phrase

17:35

No 32 bit net apps for u

There's a reason why V6 got rid of .net 4.8

Yes that was a good move of urs

17:35

Even tho I still installed 4.8

17:35

Because sm64pcbuilder and...and..

17:35

Yea

17:36

Rom manager

which was only centrain person we don't talk about screeching at me because their laptop software was buggy with .net 4.8 on vista

?

17:36

Oh

17:36

R3n and st1mpy (edited)

17:37

Yea there are some moments

17:37

With sharex for example

Keep in mind it was before he did that grave mistake

Eh doesn't matter

Betajyst4094

With sharex for example

Can't put a skin on a screenshot

17:37

Some stupid error

v6.5 with enterprise when lqtroll

lqtroll

Not motivated enough to redo enterprise as well

And ofc bug reporting is useless cause vista

17:38

And I'm afraid they might put a version check so I wont be able to use it at all lol

anx i just had a thought @arialgirl

That's also why I don't really show off exkernel on foreign servers

Betajyst4094

And I'm afraid they might put a version check so I wont be able to use it at all lol

You made the mistake of telling them you use Vista so

what if beaming in some ways relies on ie for the shop? did you try (unofficially) updating ie10 to ie11?

Scamdisk

You made the mistake of telling them you use Vista so

I did yea.

who?

I do regret lol

oh sharex

docR

what if beaming in some ways relies on ie for the shop? did you try (unofficially) updating ie10 to ie11?

He tried, didn't work

And I hope it doesnt cause any version checks implemented

docR

what if beaming in some ways relies on ie for the shop? did you try (unofficially) updating ie10 to ie11?

literally did

What did I expect when I asked the dev a patched installer

Well now he might add version checks to block 8.0 and LTSB 2015 too

17:40

Cuz you don't normally install .net 4.8 on those

Lets just not disclose any more info and hope it slides

17:40

lol

17:41

Damn dude

you are talking about sharex right?

Assume

17:41

That exkernel gets a good userbase for vista

There's like 3 other servers i share my arsons with currently

the project is open source so why not remove the checks

17:41

if they implement it

That might cause petty devs to put version checks

ImSwordQueen

if they implement it

Eh don't wanna tinker and build source every new release

also iirc paint.net is gonna transition to .net core meaning 8.0 might no longer be blocked

Scamdisk

also iirc paint.net is gonna transition to .net core meaning 8.0 might no longer be blocked

also vista?

Vista is something i doubt tho

Yep, when win32 makes it work

17:43

The getversionex patch might help

17:43

I think

because you know paint.net and its complex version checks (edited)

let's try for the second time.

Image attachment

Like it goes for the hard check and not checks that can be tricked with application verifier or registry

They are fucking overdoing it

17:44

They just DONT want older os to run their software

they will be spawn of satans and check every dll file in system32 the build tag /s

Huge respects to the devs who don't put them

17:44

Talking audacity, FDM

fdm still works on vista

Filezilla

like what

and what if they start implementing virtualbox-ish hardening

I gotta respect OSU! Devs despite the fact i don't play that game

ImSwordQueen

fdm still works on vista

Vanilla?

oh i only tried extended kernel

win32

and what if they start implementing virtualbox-ish hardening

Another reason for exkernel to not get popular

it should work on vanilla too

the best devs are

Doesnt it have cef libs no?

the ones who don't mention the os but they don't put checks that don't allow those os to run

Betajyst4094

Another reason for exkernel to not get popular

Didn't mean it in a bad sense sorry

17:46

Just too paranoid** of devs acknowledging it (edited)

ImSwordQueen

the ones who don't mention the os but they don't put checks that don't allow those os to run

Then there's node.js where they force you to put a env variable to have it working on 7 and 8.0

someone in a lower level part of the pale moon project did notice it, and he was concerned that all kinds of new bugs would appear with it.

win32

someone in a lower level part of the pale moon project did notice it, and he was concerned that all kinds of new bugs would appear with it.

it isn't his business tho

Is that why they include win7 apis

(until they report it to them)

palemoon

Ofc if Tobin notices he would try harder to break it on Vista

So it would output a error

17:48

By the way pale moon is functional on vista

palemoon working on vista? can't let that happen

Remove the api-ms dlls in the browser folder and put ones from system32/syswow64 instead

every palemoon install is on vista a tobin dies (edited)

So in case you haven’t seen #general

I dont care bout pale much but still

I mean you know that one time they tried to break the extension website if it detected XP or vista useragents

It was my fucking toolkit causing the problem

Scamdisk

I mean you know that one time they tried to break the extension website if it detected XP or vista useragents

what the fuck. why

Cuz I ran it on 8.1, same shit. Removed it and everything’s good now

Scamdisk

I mean you know that one time they tried to break the extension website if it detected XP or vista useragents

@Scamdisk say, what all was done to the windows 8.0 updated iso? I think I may know what’s going on here but need confirmation

09:26

Re: beamng online repo not working but working on 8.1

updates from server 2012, forced in .net 4.8, c++ runtimes installed, that one thing from embedded needed for ie11

hmm

09:43

lemme install 8.1 in a vm real quick and test something

ok so

10:04

@Scamdisk

10:05

Image attachment

10:05

im pretty sure this has something to do with it

10:05

but i have my tls shit enabled

10:05

soooo what gives?

10:08

anyway i gotta get ready for work

10:09

this seems to be the cause, something about ie not being able to load this website

10:09

and yes, both are v11

@arialgirl are tls 1.1 and tls 1.2 enabled in the control panel version of internet options?

Image attachment

15:11

it can be dumb but better checking before it's the actual fix

Yes

15:11

In that and in the ie properties

let me check on my 8.0 install real quick (edited)

15:12

which runs on the same iso

15:14

ok my 8.0 install is being a jerk rn

There’s some tls bug for sure

15:14

I’m not good with browser certificate stuff

15:14

But in theory maybe importing new certs could fix it

15:15

It’s a good idea to do all this because the ie backend is used by quite a few applications

ok my fucking 8.0 install loves to die for some fucking reason now

15:15

it crashed again

Damn

15:15

What platform?

intel

That’s… not very specific

15:16

So it’s a physical pc?

ah you meant that lol

15:16

a laptop

Alright

15:16

Was it win8 designed?

7 designed

15:16

but it's being a jerk rn

15:16

it always worked

K then shouldn’t be an issue

it loads on my 8.0 install just fine

Very interesting

15:18

This is beamng.com correct?

yep beamng.com

Screenshot?

let me rdp on it real quick

K

15:20

I’m going to have to cross verify those cpl settings then

15:20

But that’ll be several hrs from now

15:20

I’m trapped at work at the moment lol

Thanks. I’ll cross verify the settings on my end to make sure they’re 100% in line

15:22

Now I gotta get back to work

also damn. 8.0 looks a lot better than 8.1

bad and ugly

Yep the bottom pop up was cooler

very based

ugly makes no sense on desktop

the desktop is cleaner too without the start button

ig I can't deny that one

on 8.0 you get a preview of the start screen

Image attachment

16:56

on 8.1 you get.... this....

Image attachment

it's in 8.1 as well but not in the same context it's only in the metro app switcher

@arialgirl decided on something

also 8.0 the wifi layout is a lot compact

still wastes space with empty space

after i verify vista only has those few bugs aforementioned and nothing comes up, i'm gonna yeet the 7 install. put 8.0 in its place, and set it up exactly like yours @arialgirl

it doesn't have spaces

who cares it's compact if the unused space still wastes space

8.1 does

it fills the entire right of the screen

16:59

no matter how much it's displayed

this is the windows 8 channel not the flex channel

you have to use some combinations

to make it usable

17:30

like for taskmgr you have to use ctrl+shift+del

17:30

and you have to treat it as like 6003 on haswell

startisback works too

classic taskmgr and msconfig

but transparancy don't work

arialgirl

@ImSwordQueen tls is activated on internet properties too

Check the hosts file maybe?

22:49

Or the firewall too

did both

22:49

will do again

It isnt the iso because im using the same iso

or

22:50

lemme put it in a vm

22:50

and see whats going on

this is very weird

22:59

only beamng's site isnt loading

22:59

a bunch of others load fine

Actually

23:02

Have you tried a new install with the same iso?

23:02

On the same pc

when this install was new

23:03

it did the same thing

even if it was unactivated?

yes

Weird

just this site

23:04

every other site is perfectly fine

23:04

lol

And its only you

23:05

For me with the same iso works fine

mind you, the site works fine in other browsers

23:05

and on win8.1

23:05

with ie11

or your install is cursed somehow

23:05

Or idk

it isnt a curse

23:10

23:10

same issue

23:10

fresh install in a vm

23:10

all tls checkmarks are checked

23:10

in both properties

23:12

@ImSwordQueen you had to have done something to make it work

23:12

Did you update your install further?

I didnt

23:14

Wait

23:15

Try the same vm on 8.1

it’ll produce the same result

23:15

But ok, a bit later

23:16

I noticed your language is different

23:16

I have a theory

Thats a language pack but i dont think it would make a difference imo

The beamng website for your end thats in your language doesn’t have the same tls issue

I would try again on a vm tommorrow

23:17

Its 1am rn

K

23:17

Get some sleep

23:17

Anyway this is just one website

if you can. Try it on 8.1 or even 11

23:19

It can make a difference

try what

The vm

hmm

theres a security update for ie

it comes from a trusted source I think

18:10

the-eye

Alright

18:11

Time to use WintoHDD

I highly don't recommend that method

18:11

you could try this

What is it

Make a partition that is about enough for a Windows install

18:12

Use WinNTSetup to deploy the install.wim from the ISO to that partition

18:12

boot into that partition through WBM

18:12

delete the partition with the old OS

I'm dualbooting

and extend the other partition

lol

you could use it to dualboot as well

Good to know

Deleted User

I highly don't recommend that method

Why lol

I've tried it once

18:13

it doesn't let you select the partition exactly

18:13

but rather, the whole disk

Oh

I ended up formatting my entire Windows installation... in front of me

Image attachment

You can only get that much out of it?

I meant the ISO

18:16

Image attachment

That's alright

18:16

for a dualboot

Image attachment

what were you trying to do?

Split the paratition

18:20

From the C drive

but you've already got one

ok I did it on my other drive

the F:

That's

18:20

for

18:20

the

18:20

ISO

what?

You told me to create a partition for the ISO

I must've confused you

oh

Give me a moment

18:22

This is what WinNTSetup is.

Image attachment

18:22

In here, you put your ISO file for Windows Server 2012 R2

Image attachment

18:22

In here, you select your System Reserved partition (which you already have)

Image attachment

Ah

In here, you select that F: drive you've got

Image attachment

18:23

If you click "Tweaks", you can apply a lot of... tweaks (edited)

Image attachment

18:23

self-explanatory

18:24

do you understand now?

Huh

18:24

I get it now

Okay

18:26

BTW, make sure to keep up updated about this

Image attachment

18:27

um

18:27

what should I do

No, no

18:28

You just put the ISO file there

18:28

don't mount the ISO beforehand (edited)

I didn't

18:28

Image attachment

Where's the System Reserved...

idk

18:29

what should I pick

None of those

18:30

you should only pick System Reserved

18:30

Image attachment

18:30

This is what you should be seeing

But where is it

I'm wondering

Oh

18:31

I think my WintoHDD (Z) disk is system reserved

18:31

We will see

Uhm

18:31

yup.

18:31

That is the System Reserved

18:31

why did it get renamed

I used WintoHDD to put Win8

18:31

lol

18:31

before

Oh, okay

18:31

pick WinToHDD partition then

Image attachment

18:32

Image attachment

Choose Standard

18:33

but with a GUI

Yeah

18:33

oh

18:33

What should I do after that

Go to Tweaks

18:33

if you want to tweak it

18:33

if not, just press Setup

Nah I'm fine

make sure to make a screenshot of that

18:33

because there is an important step then

You mean this?

Image attachment

No

18:34

when you press Setup

18:34

another dialog box will pop up

Image attachment

Check that boot menu option

18:35

"Find and add Windows version already installed on this PC"

I did it

Okay, you're ready

18:35

press OK

18:36

Is it doing it?

Yes

Alright

18:36

I thought it wouldn't do it because the CPU is older than Win8.1 itself

~~Does that even matter, I mean Windows 8.1 works just fine~~

18:37

on my PC

I guess it doesn't really matter

18:38

When it's done, it will ask you to reboot

18:42

How's it going?

Good

18:43

Tells me to reboot

18:43

And I did

And did you get the boot menu?

Hold on

18:44

Yes

Alright!

What the fuck

18:44

Wait

what's happening

18:45

Take a photo of whatever you're seeing

It doesn't work

18:45

Your PC needs to restart

take a photo of that message

I can't

18:45

It's half a second and it will go away

18:45

I can't take it correctly

I get why it's displaying that

Why

WinNTSetup was complaining for a reason

18:46

about the CPU

Oh

18:46

My bad

and you deployed Server 2012 R2 which is based on 8.1

Yeah, I should've expected this sooner

18:46

Is there's r1?

Yes

Is it based on windows 8?

And it's based on 8.0 so it's fair game for you

Yep

Link?

18:47

How do I remove the windows server r2 thing

18:48

The boot menu

You can use EasyBCD

Doesn't open ip

Image attachment

Up

Are you in Windows 8?

Image attachment

18:48

Yes

18:48

I am

EasyBCD doesn't work?

Select the 2012 R2 entry and press "Delete"

Thanks

18:49

Should I put windows 8 as a default OS

18:49

?

Ya

18:49

but delete the 2012 R2 entry

Ok did it

Alright

18:50

now you can only format the F: partition

18:50

as that install is useless

I did

One idea I had

18:50

Windows 7.

What

You can put Windows 7 as your second OS

18:51

get an ISO and do it through WinNTSetup

Image attachment

18:51

True, but I wanted to try out Windows server 2012

True, but I wanted to try out Windows server 2012

It isn't that special really (edited)

Should I click restart?

Ya

Deleted User

It isn't that special really (edited)

Hm?

It is basically Windows 8 but for servers

What does that mean

It means exactly that

I see

It is a special version of Windows 8

18:52

made for web servers and things like that

18:52

it isn't that different from normal Windows 8

Alright, Windows 7

18:52

Or Vista

18:52

Should I get Vista or 7

Windows 7, I recommend

Aight

Try Vista idk

I'd rather be a bit safer

18:53

with 7

Yeah true

there is still stuff on Vista that doesn't work yet

18:53

even with the ExKernel

Look for a iso in #windows-7 pinned

Taking long

on my old computer it didnt take much

Ok it started

it took like maybe, idk, 20 secs

11:51

i think even less on this new one

Deleted User

Your PC could be just slow (edited)

I mean when I was installing win7 before it didn't take much

might be the iso

11:52

WinNTSetup is typically fast

Deleted User

might be the iso

It has all of the updates in it

11:52

ah

11:52

i never update windows

11:52

just a waste of time for me

yes

11:57

there is no such thing

11:57

if updates are so bad run Windows 7 RTM from 2009 good luck using anything

11:57

It isn't really a RAM hog

11:57

if you meant RAM

Deleted User

if updates are so bad run Windows 7 RTM from 2009 good luck using anything

mmm

11:58

Storage though, it does keep backups of updates

11:58

just in case

11:58

you can delete them

11:58

through Disk Cleanup

11:58

i remember using windows 7 rtm

Deleted User

if updates are so bad run Windows 7 RTM from 2009 good luck using anything

anything other than some games and maybe chrome or firefox for browsing (edited)

yes

11:58

even discord doesn't work on it lmao

11:58

but like .net 4.8 is big nono

11:58

and discord

11:58

and basically 50% of modern games

11:58

yes

11:58

because no platform update

get yourself a damn platform update

11:59

and SP1

noo memory hog!11!1

11:59

i just install latest service pack

12:00

nothing else

12:00

mostly (edited)

12:00

grrr if I could I would live in a cave on abandoned island grr I hate updates grr I hate changes

12:00

i install a sha 2 patch on windows 7 and nothing else

12:00

i believe that update is sha 2 patch

platform update's required to install PAINT.NET (edited)

eh

12:01

i dont use it much

12:01

mspaint is what im used to

12:01

the only reason updated 7 takes longer to install is because the updates take more space/longer to apply because they have a lot of changes

12:01

like there is shit ton of security holes and bugs fixed in them

12:02

there also might be updates that have telemetry

12:02

7 already have telemetry tho

Deleted User

there also might be updates that have telemetry

cuz of microsoft wanting ppl to upgrade to 10

12:02

I don't really care that much about telemetry

12:02

as long as it doesn't get personal

12:02

i do

12:02

it's fine

12:03

and also the telemetry page specifically says it only applies to people who said yes to the customer experience thingy

12:03

Ya!

12:03

i do cuz it uses your resources

12:03

Not really

12:03

it barely uses anything

12:03

they doubled down on telemetry back in XP lol

12:03

i want a clean os

Deleted User

they doubled down on telemetry back in XP lol

eh

wasn't this a 10 thing only?

same argument for 7

ImSwordQueen

wasn't this a 10 thing only?

how tf you think it detects if you have internet duh

Deleted User

how tf you think it detects if you have internet duh

it doesn't?

maybe you've never used XP vista 7 or 8 ever?

it will say you are connected even if your internet doesn't work (edited)

12:07

ok 8 it will have the warning symbol

the only difference is in XP the icon for the internet is something you have to enable manually

but on 7 and vista i never seen it

on 7 it legit shows when you have no internet

12:07

like it's basic feature

been there since at least 2006

12:09

someone forgot to fucking scroll

12:10

use this

Image attachment

What you're doing right now is stupid

Who?

Daniel and Sword

Oh

most of the telemetry in 10 actually comes from UWP nonsense microsoft account integration and whatever

12:10

I guess they also some moderny things

12:10

like customized ads

12:11

10 is actually more transparent you ever seen android give you telemetry choice? lmao no

12:11

they even gave tool in the store to see your telemetry data

12:11

also 8 has more telemetry than 7 but I don't see anyone bitching here

the fun thing about android

12:11

is that is open source

12:11

so you can make your own custom rom

^

let's be real 99.99% of people use stock rom

don't wanna get telemetry? get a custom rom or deal with it

convince your mom to use custom epic lineageos

my mom uses ios

Deleted User

convince your mom to use custom epic lineageos

yow

also even with custom rom you need google play services

12:12

or shit ton of apps break

Incase you break your phone, rip (edited)

Why is telemetry that includes PC stats or phone stats so annoying to people

Deleted User

also even with custom rom you need google play services

MicroG is a thing

can't speak for microg only tried it on vanced

12:13

reality is most people aren't tech savvy they couldn't care less google tracks all their steps

12:13

and yes google has location history by default

so why are you that worried

Deleted User

reality is most people aren't tech savvy they couldn't care less google tracks all their steps

Google isn't stalking me for sure

12:14

I mean y'all claimed the thing for telemetry in 7 first

yeah i know. it sends me an email every month

Deleted User

Google isn't stalking me for sure

they don't rly care about you specifically they just sell it to advertisers for profit

it has telemetry

12:14

and?

Deleted User

they don't rly care about you specifically they just sell it to advertisers for profit

And?

what's your point

y'all talk about 7 having telemetry and shit on updates then claim it's fine google spies on you wtf?

everything has telemetry

12:15

your point being?

All I've been saying is that I don't care about it

Deleted User

there also might be updates that have telemetry

12:15

if it isn't fine on 7 then it isn't fine on android

12:15

yes

12:15

thats why i always use custom roms

12:16

kinda tired of people here sucking google's dick then shitting on microsoft

daniel

12:16

bokee even said that he uses custom roms

12:16

so he isn't even sucking google's dick

yes and he implied not updating because telemetry

12:17

but yet y'all argue it's fine google spies who cares

12:17

I said I don't care

12:17

so y'all are implying 7 telemtry bad google good because I use google

12:17

so I really don't care

12:17

I don't know about Sword

the usual microsoft stigma

i don't care about telemetry

12:18

i only remove telemetry in 10 with all the other shit ms added

then why are you arguing? all I said is people give bullshit reasons for not updating 7

Deleted User

then why are you arguing? all I said is people give bullshit reasons for not updating 7

You're the one keeping it up

i didn't turn off telemetry in 11 to show ms "fuck you it runs just fine on a Ivy Bridge machine with no TPM"

"he starts the argument"

12:18

"why are you arguing"

12:18

idk if you are serious rn

y'all keep going saying stupid shit

12:18

if y'all wanna stop just shut up simple

12:19

everybody in this server says stupid shit at times

12:19

at least freedom didn't enter this conversation

12:25

until the end of support

i think i used firefox pre quantum in 2016

12:26

and i'm using firefox rn

12:26

i used only chrome before switching to firefox (edited)

at the end of support old firefox became noticably pain in the ass to use

12:26

my dad used chrome

12:26

before we reinstalled windows on the laptop (edited)

12:26

like the performance difference between og and quantum was starting to get bigger (edited)

12:26

had to switch

tbh i can even switch to 89

12:28

it has disable proton and i can use the trick to not auto update

i wont

12:28

ah

12:28

looks okay on light mode

i think 90 has it too

looks diffrent on dark mode tho

91/ 92 removed it

yeah

12:29

why does mozilla want us to use proton so much???

12:30

this should always be the only theme for this browser

KB4534310

should i uninstall it

that is an only 7 update

14:42

i'm trying to find the right one

14:43

because microsoft doesn't fucking mention this shit for server or embedded

i didn't find the faulty update

14:59

that's a slightly big problem

FlushedFluent

Image attachment

11:24

it looks great

Rather too transparent.

i like the transparancy

the start screen has an animation too

Image attachment

Not bad, though sadly, doesn't change the fact that it's hot garbage.

i like the transparancy

Sure enough.

this context menu looks sick

Release Preview Theme for Windows 8 by froggz19 on DeviantArt

12:11

this theme is great for 9200

12:13

also this theme is the only one which doesn't occur glitches with glass8 and vmware (edited)

12:17

the only thing broken is IE10 but you wouldn't use it for daily browsing anyway so

@Scamdisk do you remember what update was for the "this version of windows is no longer supported" in the store message? (edited)

no

12:36

but all ik is that it's a server 2012 update

so it's the same problem as the black wallpaper problem. no mention of the bug in any server 2012 r1 updates

Waiting...

18:34

Should I press download?

No

18:36

@docR show them how to properly use that thing

Wait, is this a program to like activate Windows or something?

Yeah

18:38

But you have to be careful

Hm??

Release Preview Theme for Windows 8 by froggz19 on DeviantArt

18:39

probably the best looking 8 release preview theme for 8.0 (and probably 8.1 i haven't tested it)

DeRosenberg

Hm??

Because there’s a specific method

18:40

Doc knows it. I forgot

Oh, I see

arialgirl

Because there’s a specific method

wait so clicking on beginner mode for 8.0 shouldn't work technically?

I don’t know. I don’t click on anything unless doc shows me what to. That thing looks sketchy as hell but he swears it isn’t, and so far it hasn’t done anything objectionable so im good

that tool showed me tweaks that i never seen before

18:43

holy shit this animation aaaaa

Image attachment

18:43

i fucking love it

I dislike that part of windows 8, the first thing I do is disable it lol

it has a slight animation

18:43

this has a full animation (edited)

18:44

if it wasn't so unstable i would probably mained the start screen because of it

I’d never because the start screen looks clunky as fuck and doesn’t fit a touchless pc

i use startisback because it's faster for me

18:45

but on my laptop i use it because why not

It’s a shame because otherwise windows 8 is just a supercharged windows 7

18:46

If MS had just made the whole modern ui an opt in or even opt out thing then it probably wouldn’t have had so little adoption

yeah

18:46

they had to fix that on 8.1

18:46

but they didn't

Because once you do what I did and make 8 more traditional, it’s so much better than win7 lol

they were going to fix it on 8.1 update 3

18:46

but they didn't

18:47

7 doesn't have auto mount for isos

Welp

18:49

i should go back to Win7 or something until Doc appears

Why

I guess

That’s stupid

18:49

Lol

I meant as dualboot, I dualbooted my windows

With what

7 and 8

Any particular reason or just for the hell of it

18:50

Because for the most part, windows 8 is just windows 7 but faster. There’s a few aspects 7 can do better but those aren’t many

I can see your point

18:51

But 7 can run stuff that can't work with 8 unless if you got an ISO from here which works fine

i dualboot 8.0 and 8.1 lol

~~I would dualboot 8 with Vista lmao~~

you can

You can dual boot it with XP too

18:53

But only in well, legacy

heck

18:53

you can dualboot it with 98

ofc, but again, legacy only

yeah

18:54

enderman did that lol

Hell you could do a 95 and 8 dual boot if you really wanted that

But the problem is the size of the Vista ISO

18:54

it's 5 GB and yet I don't wanna waste my data on it

There was nothing i could do about that

Scamdisk

Hell you could do a 95 and 8 dual boot if you really wanted that

4ktroll

i tried making it into a ESD, but then it was like "i can't find the eula"

and you can't make setup faster

Also newer setups don't play well with vista

because 7 setup hates vista

Well at least vista setup works on 7 pe

vista setup works even on 11 pe (edited)

Does Vista works with WinNTSetup?

yeah

yes

i used that to install my copy of vista

18:56

(booting from usb on a dell xps 420 is a pain in the ass)

Because I had a problem about the USB thing when I was trying to install Vista

18:57

Just like Luka when he tried installing 7

V6 has usb3 drivers now

Good

Which i had to use the 7 PE for

18:57

Because i couldn't integrate the update required for USB 3 on vista PE for the life of me

Huh

The PE is Windows 7 but the setup is still Vista's

i kinda hope someone else is going to make a vista extended kernel iso without all the updates and only the extended kernel itself

Well not possible

Isn't that kinda impossible?

the extended kernel requires the updates doesn't it

Yea

Image attachment

19:00

only 1 update

a cumulative update

@docR Sorry for disturbing you but would you mind if you can help me with this?

Image attachment

@docR

19:28

so do that then

19:28

@DeRosenberg

19:29

it looks the same as 11

19:29

cringe

19:30

click on the beginner mode windows logo @DeRosenberg

Image attachment

Clicked on it

it will restart /log you out for 2-3 times

19:30

let it do that

it only did that once and it yes it worked

yay!

19:42

you're now ~~activated~~ on windows 8

with this one

19:42

it doesn't say when you activated it

19:42

with normal 8.0 it will say it

wait up

19:43

what did you run this on

8.0 pro

ah okay

19:43

what do you mean by normal then?

19:43

standard edition?

with a legal activation

ah

19:44

so legit activation will show activation date?

i would've shown to you

19:44

but i don't have a volume:mak nor a retail key

19:45

actually

19:45

probably i'm saying bs

19:48

@docR it does

Image attachment

19:49

meanwhile here.

Image attachment

Ah I see

19:55

Thanks for sharing that

and actually the pirated one says "activate with a new key" instead of "add features to your edition"

20:01

interesting.

transparent taskbar context menus feelsgood

feelsgood

Image attachment

i can't find the goddamn update that makes the wallpaper become black

20:40

it's being annoying

ok i killed the whole install trying to find the annoying update

cooked

Image attachment

21:10

great

and your windows 8 installation is ready

21:40

that one aside, install smth like multipoint server 2012 that is based on server 2012, yet has windows 8 metro theme as default (edited)

21:40

if you dont know how to bypass that press b screen or smth go ctrl alt delete and then log out before that screen appears, then you can sign in to your user account but first you need to create your user account through computer management on the administrator account (edited)

21:44

also for some reason on first boot mps2012 shows this https://www.informatiweb-pro.net/images/tutoriels/windows-multipoint-server-2012/13-reparer-associations/2-multipoint-started-in-safe-mode.jpg

checking if wsus offline gets the fucked up update or not

Image attachment

it has started

Image attachment

14:43

in the meanwhile i'm going to install 7 and do stuff

277 updates and a long time to integrate

tomorrow i will install that windows server 2012 sku with metro theme again

failure

Image attachment

the only remaining supported multipoint server sku of windows server is wms2012

15:48

wms2010 ended its support in july last year and wms2011 ended its support in july this year

15:49

windows embedded 7 pos-ready will end its support next month as well

ok i found the problem @Scamdisk

17:17

not really but i found one

kb or what?

it's all the 2020 and 2021

17:18

i'm not even joking

msn_thefuck

installed this one

Image attachment

17:18

and the black wallpaper bug appeared

17:19

probably the whole 500 range is fucked

inb4 the entire 2021 update range for 7 is also that buggy

i fucking wonder why

17:21

i fucking swear they don't even check their own updates

ImSwordQueen

installed this one

should i uninstall that one

that's the problem

17:22

all the 2020-2021 range is fucked

17:22

and if you uninstall every 2020 and 2021 update

17:22

then you get a cooked os

17:23

so basically

17:23

you get security updates with a black wallpaper (edited)

17:23

or nothing but with a wallpaper

17:24

i feel the vibe that 2012 R1 updates are rushed and not well tested.

i hope that one day

17:25

theyll fix it

ha

17:25

good luck

17:25

without nobody reporting it they probably won't

17:25

and you can't even report it

17:27

so yeah

17:27

8.0 with updates is broken

17:28

because microsoft can't be bothered to test their own updates

17:28

and can't even report because there isn't a report button

ImSwordQueen

because microsoft can't be bothered to test their own updates

:p

ImSwordQueen

and can't even report because there isn't a report button

flush

actually there is one

17:35

but it's only used if a program crashes....

17:36

welp rip modding 8.0 and up to date

@#savefjattar FOLLOW ABOUT ME is your os up to date? If so can you check if changing wallpaper from slide show to a single one will make the wallpaper to black?

nope it doesnt

18:21

mine is not updated tho @ImSwordQueen

i asked because you have server 2012

18:21

and i thought you had it updated

when i scan for updates it gives me code 80072EFE: windows update ran into a problem

18:27

and windows update service is running

18:30

but afaik i dont have the black wallpaper problem (edited)

Might be verified tomorrow. But update ticks might have been slowed down to 2 or more days. (edited)

i actually have time to check if the last 2019 update contains the wallpaper bug

the first version of weather and the latest one in the ms store doesn't connect to the internet

16:13

version 2.0.0.310 in the other hand it can connect to the internet just fine

Huh, so it just connects to 3rd party servers or what?

idk

16:24

but i think

16:24

that microsoft made the last update not connect at all

16:24

by purpose

time to check if this update works

So I'm considering reinstalling Windows 8

DeRosenberg

So I'm considering reinstalling Windows 8

do it

I am

Okay so I reinstalled Windows 8 and Discord's now working

ugh modding 8.0 shell causes the black screen of death

12:28

fun

@Scamdisk do you know why does 8.0 shell32 kill the os when modified?

13:03

probably i have to use the shell32a method ugh

13:09

ok even with the shell32a method it still commits die

why does this smell like another 202x updates issue

it's not even the up to date iso

13:11

it's the net 4.8 iso

13:11

so it's a problem with 8.0 in general

bruh

13:13

then i kinda want some explaination on how that consumer preview theme port had a properly modified shell32.dll that doesn't nuke the system

ikr

13:14

i tried putting the shell32 icons from 22000 into 9200

13:14

and it commits die

13:16

ok 8.0 hates the shell32a method

13:16

8.x - a tweak that works on one it doesn't work in the other

8.1 for some reason seems more reliable in this one instance

i wanted to mod the ribbon icons

️

damn you microsoft for making it hard

when even 8.1's shell32 is easier to modify

it bsods on you

13:19

but that's it

tho 8.1 is known to well, make activation commit die if centrain files are modified

instead on 8.0 it black screens you

ImSwordQueen

it bsods on you

that bsod can be bypassed however lqtroll

lqtroll

(also the windows 9 fix for the black screen on 8.1 doesn't work on 8.0 big sad)

ok seems like hex values between 8.0 and 8.1 udwm.dll are different

yeah

13:25

OK SOMEHOW I COOKED THE WHOLE OS

13:25

HOW

13:25

this is bs

13:30

wait

13:30

i have an idea

13:31

windows would use the mui resources if it has them

13:31

so what if i put the icons in the shell32 mui

13:31

and it will load them

13:34

ffs

13:40

sad it doesn't work

annnnnd, just made it worse

you are ready for 8mix lqtroll

nah, it's 8R 2: Electric Boogaloo

13:56

if 8.0 didn't commit die for shell32

13:57

i probably would've made 8RP revised

13:57

or something

so project 8400

yes

13:57

trollDark

13:57

WAIT

13:57

IT DIDN'T COMMIT DIE NOW

13:57

WHAT THE FUCK

what the fuck was about the black screen then

Pretty sure that's a hotel.

yes because i have to redo the iso all over again

Hopefully it doesn't backfire the next time you get to do it. (edited)

13:19

the slight problem is the space

13:20

20GB used

13:20

too much

15:48

edge preinstalled

15:48

ultrauxtheme preinstalled

is it as good as 8.1? (edited)

it's the same as 8.0 202102

what

but without the wallpaper bug

8.0?

15:49

depends

but without the wallpaper bug

@ImSwordQueen but is it Winaero Startup Changer compatible?

personal preference whether you use 8.0 or 8.1

also the store doesn't work because i can't find the right update without break the wallpaper

15:49

imageres tools corrupt 8.0 because they are not compatible

15:49

just use res hacker

15:50

i'm only made this because of my next project

https://mega.nz/file/I24hhSab#oibvCON-7AeFXh3VtpbEeyRMw-QYltXGX5hTSTlWHwM

3.63 GB file on MEGA

17:01

slightly bigger than the 202102 iso

Could Drive be suitable? because I don't wanna deal with the download limit MEGA has

i can host it on drive too

Alright

@DeRosenberg

19:50

Image attachment

21:18

i will have to modify the drive icon with the 21390's one

21:18

tfsad

I wish windows rt had more apps

i wish 8.0 store and apps still worked

15:32

without external mods

Yeah

15:32

I have a surface rt here with the leaked ARM32 build of Win 10 15035

15:33

It's a little more usable but lack of apps

does it work on current date?

It does

oh it's not timebombed

You can activate it

15:33

Yeah

8.0 and 8.1 rt had a flaw

15:34

that microsoft locked desktop apps on them

15:34

you are able to jailbreak 8.0 RT devices to make them run

Yeah

15:34

Though even then your app selection is limited

only arm32 programs

15:34

yeah

Is sad

find a way to get windows 11's android app support on the arm32 build of 10 4ktroll

4ktroll

Starting again...

Um, I have a problem, Windows 8 isn't in dualboot

13:56

Even though I dualbooted

13:56

When I restart, it goes straight to XP

easyBCD to fix that

Alright

13:57

Hold on

XP still uses NTMGR or something like that

13:58

meanwhile vista switched to bootmgr

*ntldr

Booting into 7PE

you could've just downloaded easyBCD on XP...

How can I do that when I have no internet on it

13:59

Also my WIFI card doesn't work

13:59

Unless I install it on XP

why did you install XP without getting the drivers first

13:59

bruh

ImSwordQueen

why did you install XP without getting the drivers first

How would I know

14:00

Oh nevermind I get it now

??????

I said I get it by downloading some drivers with 8 and transfer them to the XP drive

14:03

Image attachment

14:05

Image attachment

14:05

Uh any help here?

set 8 to default

14:12

also dont use metro bootloader(might have issues with xp afaik)

Saved it

14:13

And I'll restart

14:14

Nope it didn't worked I guess

14:14

Got into XP

14:14

Fuck

wait

14:15

remove both

14:15

add win8

14:15

then add xp

Are you sure about this? I don't wanna fuck up my PC

its the bootloader and you can just fix it again

14:16

just dont erase drives

14:21

Alright I'm in easyBCD

14:21

Time to remove them

14:22

Image attachment

14:22

Image attachment

14:23

Now uh should I add 8 first or XP first?

yeah

Okay

14:24

8 first

14:25

Now XP

14:25

Image attachment

14:26

Should I keep it as it is?

14:26

14:30

Image attachment

14:30

Restart?

14:32

Wtf

14:32

Image attachment

14:44

Image attachment

It didn't work

did you specify which drive they were stored on

14:45

8 and xp i mean

I did for 8

14:45

14:46

14:59

15:00

and by the way, did winpe assign c: letter to win8 partition

Deleted User

ew ms edge

why? it's finally a decent browser

08:22

Windows finally comes with a browser I want to use

it's only decent due to the fact that it's like literally every other browser

also curious when other browsers will come to the Microsoft Store, since Opera's already on there

aka it's chromium

yes

08:23

if it's basically chrome I don't want to install the same thing again

08:23

and I have no issue having things sync to my MS account instead of the Google account

ah yes I love spyware browser and shitty ios navigation knock off

also more and more android apps became rip offs of the ios versions

don't even know why would you use edge over chrome

08:24

they're both spyware anyway

every piece of software is spyware at this point

not VLC.. yet

RaduTek

and I prefer it over the dumb navigation buttons that take up more screen real estate

I prefer navigation buttons

08:29

I don't really like gestures

he is edge user don't bother arguing

I wasn't even gonna argue

at first I thought I wouldn't like them but I then grew used to them

08:36

and when I gave my old phone to my mom, while setting it up I was trying to do the gestures out of instinct

08:36

for her I left the default navigation buttons as that's how her old phone was

aka it's chromium

@Scamdisk once upon a time someone put microsoft edge to the microsoft store in windows 11 (edited)

https://www.xda-developers.com/microsoft-edge-browser-shows-up-in-store-on-windows-11/

Microsoft Edge Browser shows up in the Store on Windows 11

With Microsoft loosening up the restrictions on what can go in the Microsoft Store on Windows 11, its Edge browser has appeared.

microsoft corporation ii seems to just be MS' alt dev accouny

that's the animation after the 11 oobe lol

I know

i'm surprised it even loaded

I mean, it is just fancy CSS

i thought it was going to skip it entirely

I think

just a html file

Yup

i mean 11's oobe is just fancy js, css and html

cuplord

09:35

you had a problem in 2.2 yes?

09:35

was it uefi?

uefi is wack

why

17:00

legacy for life

I've been using UEFI for YEARS at this point

17:01

and tbh had no issues with it

I hate uefi tbh so restrictive

when dualbooting linux in fact it was nice because I can choose in the BIOS if I want to boot from GRUB or the Windows bootloader

17:03

and from Windows you can boot from a different device using the advanced options that you get by pressing shift while clicking restart in the start menu

that version doesnt support uefi from what i read

Also it works fine

uefi works fine for me

i don't get it (edited)

uefi vista is cursed

uefi is cursed

19:15

so restricted

not really

19:18

the pain in the ass is secure boot

well legacy does not need that

from my linux adventures with secure boot, if the distro supports secure boot it's all nice and simple

20:16

if not, well get fucked, you have to sign shit on your own

20:16

but enrolling certificates was easy, the OS kind of handled on it's own and all I had to do was to type in the set password for the enrollment in the BIOS

it always does that

and possibly what i hate when it comes to chkdsk is the windows 8.1 implementation, it doesnt allow you to skip, it just starts, and doesnt show details (edited)

at least on windows 7 and even windows 10 (and OSes as far as XP) it allows to skip chkdsk (edited)

people here just love to make up stuff to shit on windows versions average day

it does let you skip. if you have a working keyboard

18:01

for some reason windows loves to deactivate your keyboard during startup

18:01

it only happens with usb for me tho

ImSwordQueen

for some reason windows loves to deactivate your keyboard during startup

that happens to me only for like 4 seconds

18:01

and before chkdsk even appears

never got lucky with chkdsk getting skipped

18:01

and actually vista's chkdsk was awful to me

and the keyboard thing is problem on all NT versions anyways

just locking itself and never recovering

I personally hate chdsk it just forces me to do it when I force restart

18:02

if I skip it it will ask every single time until I accidently not skip it

18:02

stupid dirty flag

you're lucky that you can skip it

18:03

when i get the dirty flag then i have to wait

18:03

because of the keyboard lock

that happens to me only for like 4 seconds

@Deleted User i got like 1 second for chkdsk and it carries on (edited)

18:23

and it doesnt show any additional info like XP does then on windows 10 (at least what my win10 install shows) (edited)

think it would show actual info if the GraphicsModeEnabled bcd thing is set to no

can I de-eval this?

probably via dism

DISM /online /Set-Edition:<edition ID> /ProductKey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /AcceptEula

08:04

@Ximonite

08:04

Found the command

epic

I will try

That works for server 2016

08:05

But dism havent changed a lot so it might work

cause this shit hard to install

Ximonite

what I call the windows equivalent of gentoo

I mean, theoretically if you follow instructions, you'll be fine

there are no instructions to follow

wait what?

I tried looking around through archived versions of microsoft's website

08:38

@ImSwordQueen help

08:38

dism no workey

Image attachment

08:39

you need to check the target edititions too

08:39

oh it's an another error

I checked the edition id with regedit

Image attachment

08:41

booting into PE

08:41

what I do instead of /online?

Dism /Image:C:\

do I generalize?

Image attachment

that requires to setup your acc again

08:45

so if you want to

I'm fine setting my account up again

then go for it

as long as it's activated

holy shit. sysprep is being an annoying bitch here

Image attachment

sysprep isn't in X:\sources

you have to do that in the os

08:47

go in the os

08:47

go into audit mode from sysprep

08:47

delete your user acc

08:47

and generalize and oobe

sysprep not in system32 either

it's in system32/sysprep

Image attachment

08:50

nice

08:50

everything look good?

Image attachment

ye

I entered "sysprep" in the Run prompt

it will restart in audit

and I got redirected into the directory

08:50

Image attachment

because that's the sysprep folder

Image attachment

08:51

Strange

lots of sysprep going on right now

08:51

lmao

Image attachment

don't boot to PE yet

don't worry I'm not

good

08:52

in audit mode

08:54

what you want me to do?

delete your main user acc (the one you created in oobe)

08:55

then after you done that go to the sysprep window click generalize and oobe and restart

08:55

then go to PE and do that again

09:02

edition doesn't want to be set

09:04

it's embedded industry 8.0 right?

yea

oh nvm. the-eye still isn't up yet

Image attachment

the one I got is supposed to be non-eval

09:05

but obviously is eval

the-eye has the non eval version

09:05

wait

09:06

check if reinstalling it with the embedded 8 key (non eval) does something

so I gotta find a different key

https://archive.org/details/en_windows_embedded_8_industry_pro_x64_dvd_1966345 @Ximonite did you used this one?

Windows Embedded 8 Industry Pro x64 English : Microsoft : Free Down...

The ISO to Windows Embedded 8 Industry Pro x64 in English

09:07

before i download the same iso as yours

I downloaded from here: https://msdn.hackerc.at/Windows%20Embedded%208%20Industry%20Pro/

oh

09:08

people said that the msdn isos were always eval

09:08

for some reason

09:08

idk why

I found another key

09:09

should I try reinstalling with it?

09:09

or should I download a different iso

go for it

09:10

actually

09:10

xim

?

check if the iso actually has the non eval version

how would I check?

i'm going to check it now

Image attachment

09:13

dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:F:\sources\install.esd /index:1

09:18

it is actually embedded industry wtf

Image attachment

you downloaded from my link?

yeah

flush

09:19

should I try new key?

are you installing it?

09:19

try dism directly at this point

direct dism doesn't work

09:19

mui files don't get installed

09:23

I'll try direct dism again with working method I used to get eval installed

WAIT

09:23

try winntsetup

ok

Sadge

Image attachment

Image attachment

11:18

IT WORKS

11:18

no eval

11:18

I just installed the same way as before but with the new key

tfGlad

another trick is just making a ei.cfg file that is set to volume

i always deleted ei.cfg because it didnt let me choose the edition trol

trol

meanwhile i always make it so it vlks itself anyway

11:28

but then there's the thing that can't be kms'd

11:28

aka 8 Embedded Standard

embedded windows hmm

11:28

i feel like the only decent ones were

11:28

posready 2009

11:28

and

11:28

standard 7

only the industry ones have vl

11:28

aka kms support

let me get industrial nuclear society os quick

also fun fact that's already known: Windows RT has VL keys

11:29

and kms support

i know

11:29

hehe

the fact MS shoved kms support for almost every sku

except embedded standard

11:30

even those which didn't need kms like core

embedded 8 industry pro should have kms support soooo

yeah, it does

11:31

but that one is well, "EoL" because the 8.1 variation exists

does it have wu updates until 2023?

no, you gotta install them all manually

Embedded 8 Standard is the only sku with that ootb

bad ad in a good os video

17:58

also praising 6.1

but 8 doesnt like me

18:04

so i dont like it

gayymd moment

intel moment*

then theres older nvidia drivers commiting die if they detect server

18:05

fucked around with some whistler build on the athlon machine

18:05

and converted it to some server sku

18:05

that caused the nvidia driver to just not load

does someone know what dll makes this window?

Image attachment

it should be a cpl file i think

cpl loads dll in explorer.exe

18:06

injects of sorts

oofer_dww

so i dont like it

That's normally the case, it's a relationship similar to that of a kid and broccoli.

that was basically me saying

18:08

8 crashes on me for no reason

18:08

or maybe there is a reason

18:08

and i just couldnt figure it out

time to cook 8.0 user accounts settings to make it use 7's one

18:10

so ex7forwin8 works almost 100%

you're using that?

18:11

nice

i'm not

18:12

i use startisback normally

18:12

but having a working control panel is still useful

You can't transplant one from 7?

i will see if it does something

18:13

it will not work for sure

18:26

time to restart

18:30

still can't load

18:30

:/

18:30

time to do the opposite way

@Betajyst4094

Image attachment

18:32

SUCCESS!... sorta

Impressive enough.

i did the opposite way and it loaded

18:33

Image attachment

18:33

i tried manage other account

18:33

and it didn't like that

18:34

and explorer crashed

18:34

Lol

18:34

Das ex748 right?

it should for with it too

18:35

i'm using the normal 8.x shell because can't be bothered to install ex7forwin8

18:36

i wonder if using 8.x mui would do something else

install ex7forwin8

18:37

its simple

i know

18:38

but cba

18:38

because it will revert to the 8.x shell anyway when explorer crashes (edited)

18:39

still crashes

well

it's functional tho

18:40

if you make it into an account with that then you can change pfp

do you have it installed in the first place

nvm you can't really change it

18:41

because it doesn't even open the little explorer window to make you choose the pfps

http://tihiy.net/files/ex7forW8_1.0.zip do you have it installed lul

i already have it

doesnt load with that?

if you make explorer crash no

maybe copy the wrapper and explorer files

i know

replace the original

but cba

18:42

i want to make the user control panel first

18:42

it should work the same

18:44

sometimes it uses the bmp one lol

Image attachment

18:45

you can do this the opposite way and load the 8.x one on 7 trol

trol

18:51

i think this is wrong. idk why

Image attachment

Image attachment

09:48

this is probably the most useless one rn lol

is this worse or better?

Image attachment

welp sadly it's not possible to get it working without modifying the code of the dll itself

10:28

ok windows 8.1 store doesnt wanna load an app description

13:06

after the spinning dots display either this shows up (edited)

even windows got mascots in japan

20:06

i wonder what 11 has got

what about visual studio?

huh visual studio has none

20:08

the only thing i found is this https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jz5.pronama-chan-ide-2019

Pronama-chan IDE - Visual Studio Marketplace

Extension for Visual Studio - Display mascot character Pronama-chan (KUREI Kei) of Programming Live Program (pronama.jp) as the background of text editor.

20:08

which isn't official

20:10

and 11 did get none (edited)

20:10

probably it would be the same as 10 tho

what are you doing

trying to get powershell 7 running

ah yes, powersHELL

i think i had the same issue and gave up

21:09

using powershell 5.1 instead, and the portable open source one just in case

I had to use the script

22:20

Because slipstreaming doesn't work for some reason

huh 8 loads classic before aero somehow

ok what

Image attachment

4 lovely bars

2 restart now and close buttons too

Restart twice for twice the effect!

22:20

of the update breaking your junk

i hope it doesn't break wallpapers

22:21

or even the entire OS

or your heart

it breaks wallpapers even with the embedded updates

22:28

neat

Install this update to resolve issues in Windows.

16:35

Update for Windows 8

it's not in the update catalog :/

the other one I tried was one of the october 2021 rollups

try updating the ssu first

wait

16:41

does embedded 8 industry pro have the wallpaper bug?

16:41

with the 2021 updates installed

16:42

so KB5007260

test it yourself trol

trol

17:27

i hope industry keys are multisku trol

trol

17:28

probably they aren't but who knows

17:28

Image attachment

17:28

Image attachment

does someone know how to configure ei.cfg to have the sku selection?

basically don't add the [Edition] section at all

then it asks the product key

just have the [Channel] section

19:57

with either Retail, OEM or Volume as the values

19:58

but Volume also requires VL=1 so uhhh

probably switching to 8.1 embedded once you finish your iso

20:41

cause 8.0 is just too old for forza

20:42

and winlogon is completely broken with 2021 updates on my 8.0 embedded install

20:42

had to uninstall with dism

Ximonite

probably switching to 8.1 embedded once you finish your iso

it's done. you only need a key

20:42

I gotta install Windows 8 on this thinkpad because it has a windows 8 pro key

Waterfox only runs in Vista/7 compatibility mode now.

13:39

tf?

13:39

did alex decide to intentionally block 8.x just because

This is on Server 2012. I get VC++ runtime errors when trying to load tabs without compatiblity mode so not a proper block, but still!

thats what alex gets when he blocks waterfox to sse4.2 CPUs

win32

Waterfox only runs in Vista/7 compatibility mode now.

so it means it's compatible with vista now trol

trol

Image attachment

14:24

ok waterfox doesn't even start in compability mode with older hardware

14:24

shit browser

This is on Server 2012. I get VC++ runtime errors when trying to load tabs without compatiblity mode so not a proper block, but still!

do you have KB2999226 installed?

No, but I didn't need it on Server 2008...

02:24

oh wait! Maybe some of these applications would respond better to Windows 8 faking if I did install it there too lol

02:25

But they must have got the newer UCRT some other way.

i love how activation is totally fucked but basebrd is still saying is untouched

Image attachment

13:30

i love windows honesty

windows been all kinds of wack (edited)

14:14

the usual

Kms doesn't want to work

15:00

The Activate windows page crashes pc settings

and slmgr /ipk gives an error which there is nothing about it online

and even with imageres and branding restored it's still cooked

16:35

sfc /scannow it is

AND EVEN WITH SFC STILL DOESN'T WORK

18:38

WHY

18:40

fuck embedded 8.1

18:40

ass sku

welp. fuck it.

19:46

i'm going to remake it into 8.1 pro

19:46

and not embedded

bruh

16:46

8.1 embedded is easy to activate (edited)

16:46

use microsoft toolkit

is there an alternative to MS toolkit that isn't 40 MB and doesn't require .NET 4

16:48

like the batch scripts you can use to activate Windows 10, 11 and modern Office

You can try kms auto

RaduTek

is there an alternative to MS toolkit that isn't 40 MB and doesn't require .NET 4

idk but 40mb isn’t very big, and windows 8.1 has .net framework 4 built in

oops

Ximonite

idk but 40mb isn’t very big, and windows 8.1 has .net framework 4 built in

yes but a small batch script would still be nicer

10:23

that could use external KMS servers rather than installing AutoKMS

10:24

albeit I don't use AV software anymore which would keep removing AutoKMS
